It definitely doesn’t look like winter here. Flowers like these are highly unusual during this time of year in Central Texas. But the season’s first hard freeze still hasn’t come in these last days of 2025.

Not just the fracking itself - Gas processing plants (1) are sprawling like refineries and there are 100+ out there. They separate petrochemical feedstocks from the gas. Compressor stations (2) also devour energy. Without power lines, many facilities are stringing up portable gas turbines units (3)

An old nun from Cuero, Texas, told me the city planned to cut old trees for road widening in the 1960s. She begged her father, a prominent city councilman, to find another way. That’s why Cuero has trees in the road today
