Texas and California agree on solar while Trump resists

Original: If Texas and California can agree on solar power, why can't US President Donald Trump? https:// cleantechnica.com/2026/1

CleanTechnica reports that solar power is reducing electricity costs in both Texas and California, two states usually on opposite sides of energy politics. The piece argues that with bipartisan proof solar lowers consumer prices, the real outlier is US President Donald Trump's federal energy policy, which continues to sideline solar despite its demonstrated economic benefits in red and blue states alike.

Why now: The contrast between proven solar savings in politically opposed states and the Trump administration's anti-solar stance has reignited debate over US energy policy.
