Uranium and Coal Prospects in South Texas area
A report by Claude A. Talley Jr. surveys energy options for Calhoun through Victoria counties as oil wanes. It notes small uranium deposits in Karnes and nearby counties and coal in Karnes and Gonzales, but no local power plant yet. Uranium transportation costs are modest, but waste disposal remains a concern. Uranium mining in Karnes County began in the 1950s with fluctuations in demand. current stockpiles and ongoing exploration, plus Senate/state study of strip mining, shape future production and local wages.
