I think heating/cooling is probably the bigger sustainability issue with places like Texas. At the minute 50% of global carbon emissions is tied to heating or cooling our environment. It is far bigger than transport or electricity and needs to be solved. I know one start-up that's got some very useful products on this that can work for colder environments (UK, Northern Europe). I don't know about solving AC.

And their economy, much like Alberta, is tied to fossil fuels...

Texas has a shitload more people than Alberta, mostly doing modern service economy jobs.
