I hate to say this, but I95 runs down the east coast of North Carolina not in the western part of the state. Now I75 is a different story.

Cheap, but not real cheap. A friend of mine bought 100 acres of farmland next to I95 in North Carolina for $6k an acre. This is in far Western NC, and cost almost $15k an acre.

Correct, particularly a cogeneration plant that used the waste heat to generate district hearing during winter.

What a waste of land. For perhaps less cost, and far less land consumption they could have built a natural gas fired power facility and had far more power, smaller foot print, and made money on the excess energy produced.
