I've never seen one here, which makes sense because we don't use much coal. I suppose if they were 200m high and scattered across half the state I'd have a similar opinion.
They are not pretty but what they lack in beauty they make up for with danger to the local community from leached chemicals, underground fires and landslides.
I prefer to live near wind turbines myself.
I give up, I don't even know what you're trying to imply here. That somehow Texas (a state, in a country, in a continent) burns less coal than an entire continent? And...?
