It’s about policy and government IMHO. Minnesota and Wisconsin were virtually the same but Minnesota went blue and Wisconsin went Red. Minnesota has much higher wages, union and workers rights, better education and healthcare, better economy, etc.. All of that comes down to Blue State vs Red State. It’s across the board.
There’s no other real difference between the states other than how they are governed.
Edit:
I don’t argue with propaganda online. Wallethub is not a credible source and one year is not a trend.
Here’s a credible right leaning source, notice all the blue states in the top ranking and red states on the bottom.

Here’s another source:

Minnesota top 7, most years top 3.
You can look at results for decades, Minnesota’s education system has been better for decades. Blue states education has been better. And the workers that come out of schools in blue states have been more productive and better educated workers as well.
For decades. Decades, not just one year.
And world population review is a credible source:

So you don’t understand how financing works? Here, let me explain how money works with actual adults instead of straw men.
You see, when you finance solar panels while building a house you make a small monthly payment for it. You don’t actually pay all of the money up front.
Even better, you can make more power than you use and sell it back to the utilities. So instead of an electric bill of $150 a month, you get paid $30 a month for a net saving of $180 a month.
That $180 a month is more than the cost of financing, and therefore you save money every month.

Solar panels are cheaper than any form of energy besides geothermal, with or without subsidies.
