pivoting coal to gardens

Bonjour NRG Dewey Prairie Garden! This one acre garden provides fresh fruits and vegetables to 2000 each month in surrounding counties. Since it began in April 2022, it has provided 10,000 pounds of produce for six food pantries. Texas Tribune tells us ” it is a part of a massive effort to restore a 35,000-acre lignite coal mine, which stretches mainly into the town of Jewett and used to fuel NRG’s Limestone Electric Generating Station, a 1,688-megawatt power plant. An NRG spokesperson said the coal plant began running on cleaner-burning coal from Wyoming in 2016.” Hello, benefitting local communities. We see you.
