The great oil state of Texas is well on its way to becoming solar state.
More than a quarter of all industrial-scale solar projects in the US will be built in the Lone Star State this year, with one farm the size of a small city set to rise near the arid, and appropriately named, town of Notrees.
The solar industry has benefitted from the near absence of any planning laws in the state, which had previously proved so attractive to gas and oil tycoons.
