The graphs show the percentage of electricity production by source in 2009 and 2019 for the state of Texas. (a) Based on the graphs, describe the trend in electricity production from wind between 2009 and 2019. (b) Describe an environmental change that is likely to have occurred in the state of Texas that resulted from the change in coal production indicated in the graphs between 2009 and 2019. (c) Identify and describe one nonrenewable energy source that could be used for electricity production in the state of Texas that was not being used in 2009.
The graphs show the percentage of electricity production by source in 2009 and 2019 for the state of Texas.

(c) Identify and describe one nonrenewable energy source that could be used for electricity production in the state of Texas that was not being used in 2009.
(d) The Texas state government decided to offer subsidies in 2020 for energy production by wind power in the form of a production tax credit. Explain how these government subsidies would affect the energy production by natural gas by 2030 in Texas.
The given graph shows that the energy sources being used for electricity production include nuclear energy, wind, hydropower, natural gas, and coal. As per Bartleby's guidelines, only the first three subparts of the question are being answered.
