Texas is very good at water planning. Solar does make sense if you have lots of land. How much skilled labor actually works at a fab? Attracting skilled labor to work far enough out, that that amount of land is affordable could be a problem. If the weather, and power situation remain. It might be hard in any case.

It’s not just land, but geography.

Germany has a lot of land too, solar has been less than stellar there.

Depends where in Texas. Houston area is more similar to the Deep South in weather, no shortages of water, in fact dealing with floods is a huge part of their urban planning challenge.
