I heard we will be down to one power plant lake soon...

Looks like all 150 reservations showed up!

Someone call the Game Warden and watch them scatter!

That looks like the mudhole out on 175 just west of Kaufman! LOL1

Yep Obama started the whole kill the dirty coal fired plants campaign!

Its okay boy we won't need gas in a few years we'll all be driving EV cars....


With no power plants....

They posted about there catch in the bass forum.

Well alot of those decisions made were because nat gas was so cheap, that may change soon.

Coal was on the out well before Obama, but think his admin produced legislation or an exec order that really put the nail in the coffin

The regulations put on coal burning power plants are so significant, it’s forcing power companies to shut down CCP plants.

Pirkey is the next next spring.

Welsh in 2028.

Just a matter of time before they are all gone and we are reliant on other fuel sources.

You mean Border Patrol.

I say call ICE

Maybe I need to go back to school. I thought congress made and passed laws. Not some dictator or the EPA with their own agenda.
Sure could have used those extra mega watts those coal plants provided couple years ago. They think this country,military and economy can run on wind,sunshine and pixie dust.
Now we got another dictator that decided fossil fuel and borders are bad. They can make up any law they want to and not enforce the laws we have?
Think I will decide to stop paying my ridiculous property taxes and see what happens to my A.

No doubt, but my point its been in the works for many years, I remember Bush touting clean coal technologies to try and keep it in the mix. I agree it does not make sense, and especially since we don't seem to be adding more plants. But I could be wrong.

Negative, they will just get released for sure then!

Every single one got skunked that day

I hate to see Pirkey close down as I am only 18 miles away and it takes me about 22 minutes to get there.

Finally someone has a sense of humor! ROFL

That is not right. Luminant/Vistra has 4. Graham, Hubbard,Striker and Martin Lake. I am not sure what other companies have but I know there some more. Oh yeah Squaw Creek. So that is 5

Does Striker ever run? Has it run in years?

Yes Striker runs quite frequently. They have 2 units and pretty much run from May 15th until September 1st. Other than the summer run they run as needed.

To my knowledge, Martin Lake is the only coal burning power plant in the ones you need mention.

It doesn’t have to burn coal to be a power plant lake. Stryker lake for example.
