On 1/17/17, Electric Light and Power highlighted a report from the Retail Industry Leaders Association (RILA) and the Information Technology Industry Council (ITI) that ranks all 50 U.S. states, based on the ease with which America’s most recognizable brands can procure domestic renewable energy such as solar and wind for their operations. Texas ranked fifth among the top states that are investing in clean domestic energy production, which are then “also the most likely to attract businesses, creating thousands of jobs in their communities.” “Retail and tech companies such as Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Target, and Wal-Mart are among nearly half of the Fortune 500 companies seeking to locate operations in states with clean energy production due to fossil fuel price volatility and pollution concerns. The index is intended to inform business leaders and guide state policymakers hoping to attract new job-creating businesses and foster economic growth.”
