Our local coal fired power plant is shut down to do maintenance work on the bottom ash system. They are spending millions to do it.

If they are spending that much to do that work on a coal fired plant I doubt it will be shut down permanently.

This is video of the Boardman Plant in Oregon a month ago after they did millions of dollars of emissions upgrades before it was shuttered in 2020:

If I was you, I wouldn’t have such confidence.

Sure, much like the Keystone XL Pipeline.

There are a few coal trains running parallel to I35 through central Texas. The string of cars hauling coal south is close to a mile long. They are loaded headed south and empty hauling butt north. They seem to have the right of way on the slower freight hauling trains. I’m not sure how many coal powered power plants there are in Texas but they do supply a large amount of the power for Austin, Waco and San Antonio.
