Texas Leads in Lignite and Future Industrial Boom
Dallas consulting engineer Burt C Blanton reports Texas holds about eight billion tons of bituminous coal and twenty three billion tons of lignite based on USGS data making Texas a leading undeveloped lignite resource. Geologists note rich lignite belts from Texarkana to Laredo with Webb County possibly hosting the largest cannel coal body. The report foresees Texas becoming a top industrial state as lignite fuels power and irrigation needs expand and oil may be distilled from lignite if petroleum falls short. Packing plants rise in the Rio Grande Valley and airports expand as towns prepare for rapid air transportation and a future Lear-like system. East Texas fruit prices highlight agricultural tension with tolls as a concern.
