What is geoscience?
Geoscience (also called Earth Science) is the study of Earth. Geoscience includes so much more than rocks and volcanoes, it studies the processes that form and shape Earth's surface, the natural resources we use, and how water and ecosystems are interconnected. Geoscience uses tools and techniques from other science fields as well, such as chemistry, physics, biology, and math! Read more...

It’s so windy in Wyoming how is that not their biggest source
Wyoming may be hella windy above, but it's got hella coal below, and hella Republicans all over
Same problem with Texas. Large empty swaths of sunny West Texas are perfect for solar and wind, which generate more and more of the grid’s needs. But when the natural gas lines froze up one winter, and renewables kept things going, the Republican administration blamed solar and wind for the loss of electricity, not gas. Just making stuff up to support their strange love of fossil fuels.

That's just straight lobbying money lol
too much wind can damage the generators. but like, they got hella wind farms too.
