In twenty-five words or more, explain why energy sources are affordable in Texas.

Texas, a large state with a wealth of energy resources, leads the nation in energy production. The state provides more than one-fifth of U.S. domestically produced energy.1 Second only to Alaska in total land area, Texas stretches 800 miles at its widest points, east to west and north to south, and crude oil and natural gas fields are present across much of that expanse.2,3 Coal is found in bands that cut across the eastern Texas coastal plain and in other areas in the north-central and southwestern parts of the state.4 Texas also has abundant renewable energy resources and is first in the nation in wind-generated electricity.5,6 With a significant number of sunny days across vast distances, Texas is also among the leading states in solar energy potential.7,8 Geothermal resources suitable for power generation are present in East Texas, and uranium—the fuel for nuclear reactors—has been found in South Texas.9,10 The state has three licensed uranium in-situ recovery plants, but there have been no commercial operations for several years.11,12
