Yes, very true. However, as Kevin indirectly pointed out, there is finite land in California compared to Texas, and environmentalists are really the only people (save for that native historical site wacko) standing in the way of large-scale solar energy arriving in the Mojave Basin out of concern for the desert tortoise (which isn't solely native in California; it can also be found in Arizona and Nevada).
