They are 14th in terms of % of PRODUCTION but not consumption. I'm sure you know that that vast majority of the north east states purchases renewable energy (hydro) from Quebec. So while those states have low renewable energy production, their renewable energy consumption percentage is relatively high. When it comes to consumption, Texas is 31st of all states. Source Does that still sound good to you?

It is an undeniable fact that in order to create renewable energy (aside from hydro) you need land which Texas has the most of. Which is why it is not reasonable to compare the absolute value as oppose to percentage.
