For my local state, some three times larger than Texas, that's irrelevant.
Total yearly energy consumption here (of all forms of energy) is 1,271.9 PJ aka 3.533056e+11 kilowatt hours aka 353.3 TWh or approx 1 TWh / day.
Given the dispersed area we're more interested in distributed buffering storage to smooth solar, wind, and wave generated energy over the top of natural gas baseload generation.
Thanks for the ridiculous non applicable straw question though, that was a chuckle.
