Oklaunion Power Plant

Oklaunion Power Plant is a 650-megawatt (MW), coal power plant located southeast of Vernon, Texas, in Wilbarger County, Texas. Its unit is operated by American Electric Power (AEP). The plant began commercial generation in 1986. History The construction for Oklaunion began in 1982 and was commissioned by West Texas Utilities, a forerunner of AEP. The plant commenced commercial generation in December 1986. Initially, the coal was transported from the Rawhide Mine in Wyoming. In 2017, the plant received 719,467 short tons of coal from the North Antelope Rochelle Mine by train according to the Energy Information Administration (EIA). The plant's cooling source came from Lake Diversion, located in Archer and Baylor County, Texas. In September 2018, AEP announced it was shutting down Oklaunion by September 2020, citing production costs and being no longer competitive in the power market. The plant was bought by Frontier Energy, which planned to convert it to natural gas over five years. In 2022, Air Products and AES Corporation announced they were to partner up to develop a $4 billion green hydrogen facility on the site of the former Oklaunion plant.

Sandow Power Plant

Sandow Power Plant was a 1.1-gigawatt (1,137 MW) coal power plant located southwest of Rockdale in Milam County, Texas. It was operated by Luminant, a subsidiary of Vistra Corp. The plant closed in 2018. Sandow Power Plant Units 1–3 Sandow was constructed by Alcoa in 1951 to power its nearby aluminium smelting facility. Operations of Sandow's first three units began in 1954 with a nearby man-made reservoir called Alcoa Lake utilized to cool the plant. In the 1980s, Alcoa commenced a mid-life update to Units 1–3 at a cost of $63 million. After its completion, pollution from the plant increased by 13,000 tons annually. A settlement with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was agreed upon in 2003 to remedy the plant for violating the Clear Air Act. Ultimately, Units 1–3 would be decommissioned in 2009. Sandow Power Plant Units 4–5 The plant had two active units at the time of its closure: Unit 4 began operation in 1981 and Unit 5 began operation in 2009. The power plant used lignite from the Sandow mine in Rockdale until 2006, when Three Oaks Mine in nearby Bastrop County, Texas opened. Unit 4 was retrofitted with a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system by Fluor in 2008 to reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions. Transmission of electricity to the nearby aluminum smelter stopped in 2008 when Alcoa ceased smelting operations at its Rockdale facility and accused Luminant of power supply issues. It was announced on October 13, 2017 that Luminant would shut down Sandow Power Plant in early-2018 due to economic factors such as low natural gas prices and growth in renewable energy. The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) approved of the shut down the following month. ERCOT found the plant was "not required to support ERCOT transmission system reliability," and closed by January 11, 2018. Demolition Demolition of units four and five began in the spring of 2023 & is expected to be completed April 2024. The demolition is being carried out by Integrated Demolition and Remediation, the same company that demolished the Big Brown Power Plant in Fairfield Texas & Monticello Power Plant in Titus County, Texas. On September 1, 2023 at 10 AM central daylight saving time, the bag houses on unit five powerplant, some concrete silos and the old smokestacks for units one, two and three were demolished by collapse by detonation. At 11 AM on March 2, 2024, the new unit 3 smokestack and unit five A and B boilers were demolished by implosion.

WA Parish Generating Station

The W.A. Parish Generating Station is a 3.65-gigawatt (3,653 MW), dual-fired power plant located near Thompsons, Texas. The station occupies a 4,664-acre site near Smithers Lake southwest of Houston in Fort Bend County and consists of two four-unit plants; one natural gas and the other coal (2,697 MW). With a total installed capacity of 3,653 MW, it is the second largest conventional power station in the US, and supplies about fifteen percent of the energy in the Houston area, NRG Energy owns and operates the plant. The Powder River Basin supplies three 115-car trainloads worth of low-sulfur coal to units 5-8 or 36,000 tons daily. Completed in January 2017, the post-combustion Petra Nova Carbon Capture Project became the largest installed on an existing power plant in the world. The system pumped 1.6 million tons of filtered carbon dioxide (CO2) from unit 8 to the West Ranch Oil Field 82 miles away in Jackson County. Since the system is powered by natural gas, it was originally expected to have a net effect of not releasing 785,000 tons of carbon annually. The system cost approximately $1 billion, but was idled from May 2020 to September 2023 due to the low price of oil during the COVID-19 pandemic. Adjacent to Parish Station is the natural gas Brazos Valley Power Plant owned by Calpine Energy which opened in 2003. Notable Incidents During the 2021 Texas power crisis, Parish Station was reported to have experienced up to a 664 MW loss in generation capacity, including an 80 MW decrease in capacity early in the crisis that contributed to the need for rolling blackouts. The Unit 8 turbine, which has a generating capacity of 610 MW, caught fire the night of May 8, 2022. While there were no injuries reported during the fire, a chemical exposure incident during the repairs briefly hospitalized six workers. The turbine was heavily damaged & was expected to be repaired within a year (by May 7, 2023), however Unit 8 did not reopen until late August 2023.

Longhorn Cavern State Park

Longhorn Cavern State Park is a 645.62 acres (261 ha) state park located in Burnet County, Texas, United States. The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department is administrator of the facility. The land for Longhorn Cavern State Park was acquired between 1932 and 1937 from private owners. It was dedicated as a state park in 1932 and in 1938 was opened to the public. In 1971, the cavern was dedicated as a National Natural Landmark. The park's administration building was listed as a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark in 1989. Human history The park is named for Longhorn Cavern, a limestone cave formed by the cutting action of an underground river that receded thousands of years ago. Before the cave became a tourist attraction, it was used over the years by Native Americans, Confederate soldiers and outlaws, including outlaw Sam Bass. Sam Bass's story is considered folklore and not verified fact. In the late 1920s and early 30s the cavern was used by area residents as a nightclub with shows being broadcast via radio back to San Antonio. Performing musicians would entertain through the night. The popular spot was known as Sherrard's Cave before it was dedicated as Longhorn Cavern State Park in November 1933. From 1934 to 1942, Company 854 of the Civilian Conservation Corps constructed Texas Park Road 4, residences, pavilions and an observation tower in the National Park Service Rustic architectural style. They also explored the cavern and made it accessible by removing some 2.5 tons of silt, debris, and guano and building stairs and walkways both into and inside the cavern. In 2006, Steven Kurtz, curator of Longhorn Cavern State Park, re-introduced chamber music to the cave with the creation of the Simple Sounds concert series. Not until February 14, 2008, did dancers return to the cave floor when local Burnet County band Redneck Jedi performed. On April 4, 2008, Redneck Jedi returned to the cave and recorded their fifth album, Unplugged and Underground, the first such recording inside the cave. In 2008, Fantastic Fest hosted an after party for the premiere of City of Ember. In 2012, the cavern tour area received a new lighting system. In 2019, the cavern was used as a filming location for the YouTube interactive series A Heist with Markiplier. Nature The caverns were once home to a colony of Mexican free-tailed bats, but now they are only inhabited by tricolored bats. There is over a mile of nature trails in the park which are home to a wide variety of birds, including the endangered golden-cheeked warbler.

Magnolia Hotel (Dallas, Texas)

The Magnolia Hotel (sometimes called the Magnolia Building, originally the Magnolia Petroleum Building) is a 29-story, Beaux-Arts style, upscale hotel in the Main Street District of downtown Dallas, Texas, that for many years was the tallest building in the state after surpassing the Adolphus Hotel. The structure is a Dallas Landmark and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. History The building, which opened next door to the Adolphus Hotel in August 1922 at a cost of US $4 million, was originally the headquarters for the Magnolia Petroleum Company. In 1934, the company erected its trademark neon Pegasus on the building's roof (the Pegasus logo later became the logo of Mobil Oil who merged with Magnolia Petroleum in 1959) to celebrate the American Petroleum Institute's annual meeting, held in Dallas for the first time. The rotating winged horse came to represent the city of Dallas and became one of its most recognizable and endearing landmarks, even after the building became obscured by much larger skyscrapers (the neon Pegasus can now only be seen in the downtown skyline approaching from the south). By 1974, however, Pegasus stopped rotating due to mechanical problems and in 1977 the property was sold to the city of Dallas. The building was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. The building was purchased by Denver, Colorado developers in 1997 and was converted into the luxury 330-room Magnolia Hotel. In 1999, in preparation for Dallas's Millennium Celebration, Pegasus was taken down to be completely restored. However, the sign was beyond repair and a new sign was recreated from scratch. At midnight on 1 January 2000, the new Pegasus, complete with rotation, was lit for the first time. A copy of the original sign, which sat atop a Mobil Oil station in the Casa Linda neighborhood of Dallas for many decades, is now on display at the Old Red Museum.

Magnolia Hotel (Dallas, Texas)

El Magnolia Hotel (a veces llamado Magnolia Building, originalmente Magnolia Petroleum Building) es un exclusivo hotel de estilo Beaux-Arts, ubicado en el distrito Main Street del centro de Dallas, Texas (Estados Unidos). Con 29 pisos y 121,63 metros, fue durante muchos años el edificio más alto del estado tras superar al Hotel Adolphus.​ La estructura es un lugar emblemático de Dallas y figura en el Registro Nacional de Lugares Históricos. Historia El edificio fue diseñado por Alfred C. Bossom. Se abrió al lado del Hotel Adolphus en agosto de 1922​ a un costo de 4 millones de dólares y fue originalmente la sede de Magnolia Petroleum Company.​ En 1934, la compañía erigió su marca registrada Pegaso de neón en el techo del edificio (el logotipo de Pegasus luego se convirtió en el logotipo de Mobil Oil, que se fusionó con Magnolia Petroleum en 1959) para celebrar la reunión anual del American Petroleum Institute, que se llevó a cabo en Dallas por primera vez. El caballo alado giratorio llegó a representar la ciudad de Dallas y se convirtió en uno de sus puntos de referencia más reconocibles y entrañables, incluso después de que el edificio quedó oscurecido por rascacielos mucho más grandes (el Pegaso de neón ahora solo se puede ver en el horizonte del centro de la ciudad acercándose desde el sur) . En 1974, sin embargo, Pegasus dejó de rotar debido a problemas mecánicos y en 1977 la propiedad se vendió a la ciudad de Dallas. El edificio fue incluido en el Registro Nacional de Lugares Históricos en 1978. El edificio fue comprado por desarrolladores de Denver, Colorado en 1997 y se convirtió en Magnolia Hotel de 330 habitaciones.​ En 1999, en preparación para la Celebración del Milenio de Dallas, Pegasus fue retirado para ser completamente restaurado. Sin embargo, el letrero estaba más allá de la reparación y se recreó un nuevo letrero desde cero.​ A la medianoche del 1 de enero de 2000, el nuevo Pegasus, completo con rotación, se encendió por primera vez.​ Una copia del letrero original, que se encontraba en lo alto de una estación de Mobil Oil en el vecindario Casa Linda de Dallas durante muchas décadas, ahora se exhibe en el Old Red Museum.

Parc d'État de Monahans Sandhills

Le parc d'État de Monahans Sandhills (littéralement : collines de sable de Monahans) est un parc d'État du Texas situé dans le sud de Llano Estacado dans le comté de Ward et le comté de Winkler . Il couvre une surface de 15,5 km2. La grande ville la plus proche est Monahans, et l'entrée d'autoroute à accès limité la plus proche est la sortie 86 sur l'Interstate 20. Description Le parc d'État de Monahans Sandhills est connu pour la présence de dunes allant jusqu'à 21 mètres de hauteur. Bien que désertiques, les Monahans Sandhills ne sont pas un désert; ils font partie d'un écosystème semi-aride (précipitations annuelles moyennes de 310 mm) caractérisée par la présence d'eau souterraine et de sable soufflé par le vent relativement pauvre en nutriments. Le Quercus havardii est un arbuste local qui, en raison des conditions locales, atteint souvent une pleine croissance de seulement 1,20 mètre de hauteur. La plus grande partie de la biomasse existe sous la forme d'un long système racinaire descendant jusqu'aux eaux souterraines. Si une dune de Monahans s'est stabilisée et a cessé de souffler dans le vent, c'est souvent parce qu'un petit bosquet stabilise la dune avec son vaste système racinaire. Malgré la stérilité du paysage, divers rongeurs sont relativement communs et plusieurs coyotes de Sandhills s'en nourrissent . Une grande partie des Monahans Sandhills est des propriétés privées. L'État du Texas exploite un bail de 99 ans avec la Sealy-Smith Foundation pour le ranch sur lequel se trouvent la plupart des terres du parc d'État; le parc a ouvert au public en 1957, et le parc d'État a des droits à bail sur cette parcelle de collines de sable jusqu'en 2056 . Les Monahans Sandhills font partie du Bassin permien des formations d'hydrocarbures, et une partie de la production de pétrole se poursuit dans et autour du parc d'État . Les visiteurs pratiquent plusieurs formes de loisirs sur les collines de sable, comme le sandboard, le «football sur sable», le «surf sur sable» et la luge sur sable .
