  3. Imagine what we could do if the state government wasn't trying to inhibit renewable energy. "Texas generates more electricity from wind and sun than any other state and has since 2006. It ain’t even close. In 2021 Texas’s output was more than double that of the runner-up, a sizable state that hugs the Pacific Ocean and likes to boast about how green it is." https://www.texasmonthly.com/news-politics/texas-number-one-in-renewable-and-nonrenewable-energy/
  4. With 1.19 million total residents, Collin County experienced the second largest growth in the country and added 36,364 people last year. Harris County grew by 53,788 residents and is the largest gaining county in the nation. The county is the third most populous county in the U.S. and has a total of 4.83 million. Half of the counties with the highest levels of domestic migration were also in the state. Collin County saw the fourth-largest domestic inflow with 20,749 residents relocating into the area. Denton County was fifth and saw 19,262 people move into the area.

This included Harris County, which added 53,788 residents and was the largest-gaining county in the nation, followed by Collin County (36,364) and Montgomery County (31,800). Maricopa County, Arizona, the largest-gaining county in the nation in 2022, dropped to fourth in 2023 with a gain of just over 30,000 residents. Polk County, Florida, ranked fifth after adding 29,948 residents. The remaining top five population gainers were all in Texas: Denton (29,943); Fort Bend (27,859); Bexar (27,488); Tarrant (27,301); and Williamson (24,918). Denton County gained nearly 30,000 new residents, pushing its population to just over 1 million and making it the seventh Texas county to reach this milestone. ___ The Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, TX metro area surpassed 8 million residents between 2022 and 2023, adding 152,598 residents for a total population of 8,100,037. This was the largest numeric population increase of any U.S. metro area between 2022 and 2023, followed by Houston-Pasadena-The Woodlands, TX, which added 139,789 over the same period, bringing its total population to 7,510,253. Other metro areas that experienced notable population gains between 2022 and 2023 included Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Roswell, GA (68,585); Orlando-Kissimmee-Sanford, FL (54,916); Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, FL (51,622); Charlotte-Concord-Gastonia, NC-SC (50,458); and Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos, TX (50,105). https://www.census.gov/newsroom/press-releases/2024/population-estimates-more-counties-population-gains-2023.html 418 people a day on average move to DFW. It's spread out over 13 counties, but I think they all get on 35 at some point and damn few know how to drive.
