Actually that would be +1000%! The numbers are crazy.

Nope, it actually has 104% more. If you look closely, there is a slight green tint to it.

On average, states have about 20% renewable usage in 2020... so in my opinion yes.

>You’re saying most states has less renewable energy now compared to 1990? What is your data set?
Nope. Most have more. The data set is from U.S. Energy Information Administration
State Energy Data System (SEDS).

Great to hear! The value scale makes more sense to me than a simple "color scale," in many cases in my opinion.

Yeah I could have made the graphic more clear. That -.39 is -39%, therefore the 21 is +2100%

Well... sort of. This is the percent change. So TX still has a low percentage of renewables. That said, it's better than some other places and for its size it's decent thanks to some of the companies you mentioned (NRG I think).

>Any reason you chose green as the middle and red as the high end of positive.
Short answer: Basically I needed a lot of range.
Longer answer: I needed something bright for the low end and something with a wide range visually for the middle parts. Kansas was in a league of it's own in many ways. So basically anything with a green tint at all that wasn't completely yellow had a positive gain. For example, Washington State was -16%, Idaho was -24%, and Montana was +13%.
Hopefully that makes sense.

Well I would say that it's important to consider the fact that California is huge and uses lots of energy and also that they started at a higher rate than many states.
