No it's really not. Texas's energy grid is entirely independent and they produce a large percentage of the country's oil and gas.

Also California has it's own specific blend of gasoline and that hasn't been adopted nationwide at all. It's only used in California.

Unless you can identify a certain thing in California that caused Texas to increase it's wind power I think your argument is pretty vacuous.
