It was briefly a major issue in a not-very-polarized way during 2005-07 in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, but then the housing crisis took up all the oxygen in 2008-10. Fracking taking off polarized the issue after 2010 or so, but it remained a low priority for most voters. It generally seems to be gaining in importance again since 2017 or so (Hurricane Harvey?), but it's very left/right polarized now, in a way that doesn't give me much hope there will be a deal that sticks. If we ever get to a point where Dems need Texas to win and the GOP needs Florida at the same time, there would be more potential for a bipartisan deal like what almost happened in 2007.
