List of proposed Texas power plants

One of interest is in Angelina County.  Its called Pinecrest Energy Center and calls for a 730 MW natural gas plant.

If used for base load, a plant of this magnitude would use about 40 BCF of gas per year, based on my calculation.  127 kWh per Mcf.  Individually, this isn't a huge amount of gas, and a lot of the plants listed on the the platts report will be peakers, but cummulatively, it begins to add up.  It would be interesting to see if any national lists of new power plants are available

Tuscaloosa Trend Sits On Top Of Poorest Neighbourhood For Decades - Yet No Royalties Ever Paid To The Community -- Why??

In researching the decades-old Tuscaloosa Trend and the immense wealth it has generated for many, I find it deeply troubling that this resource-rich formation runs directly beneath one of the poorest communities in North Baton Rouge—near Southern University, Louisiana—yet neither the university ( that I am aware of)  nor local residents appear to have received any compensation for the minerals extracted from their land.

This area has suffered immense environmental degradation…
