True that's one possibility, and may very well be what the political class is doing. The other is capitalism, which is more likely what the actual businessmen are doing.
Capitalism thrives on hypocrisy, it's just the thing to keep the masses of idiots stupiding along at their jobs so the wealthy can buy their 47th yacht. Texas literally has a vested interest in non-solar power (specifically oil and gas — they produce around a quarter of our natgas) so they need to keep advertising it so they can sell it, but they're not actually stupid so they also are doing solar and wind. Solar's easier to deploy without hassles because bumpkins can't see it from their pickups, plus Texas is prime sun country, so it's more solar than wind.
Of course, we have a name for people who are not stupid, and sell people a product which they know will destroy them because it allows them to live a life close to kings, and it is evil.
