I suspect that the Waco area got a lot of interest due to the lignite around the area. I know you see a lot of surface mining along FM 164 out of Buffalo towards Waco.
I have no problem with coal plants, but I was a little alarmed that they wanted to build so many in such a limited area.
They wanted to build something like 6 plants or something in a circle around waco, needless to say that didn’t go over too well with the locals.
