They have a very diverse climate north to south and that is a plus-minus. You can get all 4 seasons but all areas a prone to occasional seasonal extreme weather like tornadoes and hurricanes.
The people are down home wonderful when you get away from the high density urban areas. True blue Americans none of the sunshine patriot types. You may find liberals but most would be considered a radical threat by the AOC liberal types in the northeast. Ignore beto o'rourke. He is just an attention whore, nothing like a real Texan.
That is VERY SIGNIFICANT with the new Green New Deal garbage that will be descending like a blight across the American landscape. It means all the Texas based electric companies all can only compete locally in state, and can't sell for higher prices to other states, raising the local prices per KWH.
