Episode Details

A massive industrial push near Dinosaur Valley State Park in Texas—featuring power lines, a power plant, and a giant data center—is sparking fierce local backlash. Residents fear pollution, runoff, and construction could ruin the park’s fragile ecosystem and iconic dinosaur tracks, discovered in 1908 and now threatened by development. Developers dismiss concerns, with one comparing the risk to the earth being flat, while Oncor claims its power lines won’t enter the park—though they must still present options. The state has already granted an air permit for the power plant, whose purpose and timeline remain unclear. For a small county reliant on tourism, this could mean economic collapse. The final decisions rest with state officials, but locals are sounding the alarm before it’s too late.
