The real order is…
    Texas makes about 2.81× as much wind power as #2 Iowa — and sunny California isn't even in the top 5!
    📚 Background Not sunny California — Texas is the wind-power king, making almost 3× as much as #2 Iowa. The same wide, windy plains that carry the state's big cattle ranches now carry many wind turbines too. (California isn't even in the top 5 for wind.) (U.S. EIA, electricity data)
