Here's the article referenced in the AM radio puff piece editorial you posted.

It's growth in clean energy.

In red states.

And nice weather.

Always go to the study!

The disparity between red and blue states has little to do with anything Biden has done, experts interviewed by ABC News said, noting that federal policy typically holds minimal influence over state-by-state economic trends.

Instead, they added, the dynamic owes in large part to the appeal of warm weather states for workers and businesses, as well as the combination of company-friendly state policies and Democrat-leaning cities that attract young, educated workers.

Warm weather and Democrat-leaning cities are responsible for economic growth in red states.

Or on the flip side

"Dating back to when the president took office, he has enacted a set of historic legislative accomplishments that have very directly driven the historic labor market recovery and historic economic growth we’ve had,” Daniel Hornung, deputy director at the National Economic Council, a Biden administration group that advises the president, told ABC News.

Moreover, Hornung rebuked the notion that Biden's policies have little to do with the particularly strong performances among red states, citing** legislative achievements that, in some cases, have disproportionately benefited red states. ** Biden's legislative accomplishments are responsible for economic growth in red states.

OR, on even a third side, somehow..

"Presidents don't really have a lot to do with state economic performance," Terry Clower, a professor of public policy at George Mason University, told ABC News.

Instead, experts said that relatively strong red state performance results in part from business-friendly policies and attractive weather.

But George Mason University is basically a conservative school, so he would say something like that.

No clean energy is a minimal growth factor. The investment in manufacturing dwarfs the investment in clean energy.

Under President Biden, Texas has received about $120 billion in private sector investment in manufacturing, as well as $30 billion in public infrastructure and clean energy investment
