UPDATE: Fire continues to burn at TX power plant

Texas will not be the heavy fuel fueling a dead electric future of psychopathic ideas and unnatural ideas of what life should be.

Looks like it's the plant at coordinates P15RUN0761464125, so that smoke blew right into the heart of Houston...hopefully it went up and over.

Just insure its replaced with US built and owned. No foriegners.

If you go out to Google Maps and look at the site of the power plant, you can see the cooling towers that caught on fire. Given their age, I would not be surprised if there is a lot of wood in the structure that consists of creosoted timbers and lumber.

At about 3:30 into the video the news reader does state that it the old cooling towers that caught on fire.

I am thinking arson.

At about 4:30, I wonder what the white smoke/haze is from that it is coming up in the foreground.

somebody didn't wanna pay to haul off that old PCB oil. wonder how that smells?

Gee, easiest way to avoid paying for the removal of outdated and obsolete equipment. Typical scam. Who wants to bet that old power transformers full of PVBs are the black smoke plume?

I'd like to know what is fuelling this fire, just in case someone wants to build a city around an old power station here in Australia!

If this was Australia, I'd say it was an illegal demolition!

MSDNC is blaming trump

hi young Christian lady named Sabrina I will pray that everyone is okay and no damage done that is equipment that they need

100%-это подожгли русские! В любом пожаре мира сегодня находят следы русских. Трамп заключил торговую сделку с Индонезией! И сегодня там начал извергаться вулкан Семеру и там оказались следы русских!

... and the contaminants not discussed in the smoke is being pushed up to Houston, TX. This sucks.

How many Mosques are in Texas now? ....are they practicing?.....asking for a friend.

Will not be surprised if the fire started in the battery storage area.

It is called negligence.

Karma

People from Houston we need to in investigate.

We need to watch that 😮 houston 💯 💯 💯 💯 💯 💯 💯 💯 💯 💯

😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮

If this is the location I found on Google maps, there IS no power plant there - it was razed years ago. The only things left were the old wood cooling towers, which accounts for the intensity of the fires.

As a former firefighter from the East Coast. That continued deeply black smoke appears to be fossil fuel driven (oil, gasoline, etc.) Looks like tanks burning.

Now …that is quite a bit of Carbon (Burned debris ) going up in the “ Atmosphere “ … parts per cubic mm … Clean up and reconstituted the soil ; then Plant Some Trees 🌲 …Make it a local 4H project for our younger generations.😃

Amazing how long they can talk and not say anything.

Decommissioned? What the hell were they storing in it for it to burn like that?

If you, like me, immediately suspected a burning battery storage power plant, you may relieve your overactive (like mine) imaginations - Google maps satellite pictures show a multi-turbine natural gas power plant.

Older plant , newer peaker.
Plant used in case of " black start" , er, would have been used to facilitate restart of other plants in the event of system or system wide outages. No power no power generation.

At least it was decommissioned.

The last thing we need in texas is fewer functioning power plants.

Arson should be a suspect on the calls of the fire

Terrorism? Q

Obviously burned on purpose to clean the site

Texas let Islamic terrorist move in and their already shouting, Sharia law. They will burn Texas to the ground. You have a cancer that needs attention ASAP. Wake up Texas, your NYPD is already flying a Palestine Flag.

What the hell is burning this telling me that is it that cancer agent that they put in transformers that oil

Ahh, if decommissioned blows my thought; I wondered whether they had tried powering up a data centre and overheated transformers with the current drawn.

Sounds like an insurance scam going on with these things - you get more money because some of that unsellable equipment gets full retail if burned/destroyed...

I’m noticing a pattern…

thats luekemia in the air right there. u will want to get out of that area for a few years

Hydrocarbon fire - fuel oil

That is a lot of air pollution.

Only Jesus Saves...

Lol no da morons

Just in time for winter! Hopefully texas can beat its record of 30-50 people and children freezing to death in their home every winter!!! :D

Arson 4 sure!

Race hate, make no bones about it

No hazardous particulates in the air she says. You’ve got to be dumb to believe that lie.

if it aint one thing its another
