On: Solar energy in Israel: It's a knockout

Based on a quick glance at the data here:

Florida, Texas, and California seem to be the leaders of the energy-use pack by a large margin (making up ~25% of the nation's energy consumption).

In my mind those three are the sunniest of states, leading me to the very unscientific conclusion that most energy IS consumed in dry/sunny places.

They are certainly sunny states, but they also account for ~25% of the nation's population. California, Texas, and Florida have the 1st, 2nd, and 4th largest state populations respectively.
