<p>Bob, not Harrison County. We have a couple of lignite mines here in DeSoto Parish, just south of Shreveport, that I know a little about because they cover some very good Haynesville & Bossier shale rock. Those mines serve the Cleco power plant in Boyce, LA. I think the Harrison mine might be connected to the H. W. Pirkey power plant at Hallsville. That is a SWEPCO plant so you should be able to go to the company website and read about the status of the plant.</p>

<p>At least some Texas politicians and regulators do. For the vast majority of Texans I think their cost of energy is the deciding factor. If SWPCO, a regulated utility, makes the case for cheaper energy from renewabale sources, I won't be arguing against them. The company has no reason to advocate for something that would cost their customers more. </p>

<p><em>The decision to move forward with the projects comes despite the Public Utility Commission of Texas’ decision last week to deny SWEPCO’s plan to add 309 megawatts of wind energy to serve Texas customers.</em></p>
<p>Texans want their energy to come out of the ground, not free wind blowing up from Mexico.</p>
