A multitude of factors contribute to the carbon output, among them: Texas' 19 coal-burning power plants; a heavy concentration of refineries and chemical plants

Yeah, those factors also contribute to the fact that Texas produces a lot of the power that people in California, New Mexico, Arizona, and Colorado consume.

I don't think Texas exports much electrical power. Most of Texas is inside ERCOT (Electric Reliability Council of Texas). To stay out of federal regulated commerce laws, ERCOT does not sell or buy power outside their area, except under emergencies.
