I already sent you an a-mail.

A I think I can apply and put to work one of my proyects, taking advantage of the mohave generating station facilities, and start to produce electricty and a very little short time.

answer me as soon as you can.

OTOH, water is preserved in the area (a very dry area with little water to spare) and the air will be cleaner.

Was it worth it? Maybe. I think the best compromise would be a nuclear plant. 1.5GW of generation capatacity is a lot to lose.

According to the EPA, the coal plant was the dirtiest in the Western U.S., emitting up to 40,000 tons of sulfur dioxide per year.[2]

Southern California Edison chose to shut down the plant rather than upgrade it to acceptable pollution standards. The plant was the sole customer of the Black Mesa mine, and Peabody did not have an alternative source of water, so operation of the mine and slurry line ceased as well.

In 2006, the Office of Surface Mining released a Draft Environmental Impact Statement that included plans to re-build the coal slurry line to transport coal to the Mohave Generating Station. However that plan was halted in favor of an alternative proposal to supply Black Mesa coal to the Navajo Generating Station in Page, Arizona

John wrote on June 11, 2009 08:19 AM: Can you just feel the glee from the greenies as they closed "the first" of the power plants?

And what about the several other power plants that have decided not to be built because of the licensing problems and potential litigation and delays?

We can all rejoice now with our higher electric bills and reduced energy supply.

V wrote on June 11, 2009 08:10 AM: This power plant was responsible for the Navajo-Hopi Land dispute which has moved 15,000 people. The owners of the coal are the individual Hopi and Navajo Indians with their land titles which was nationalized via Healing v. Jones and PL 93-531 to kill off the owners before they find out. 34 Stat 1021 authorizes allotments which includes mineral rights.

The payoff was to the Navajo Nation and only 200 workers and coal royalty. The coal royalty would then be spent on Navajo Nation salaries on Navajos who do not live near the Black Mesa Mine. The real owners of the Black Mesa Mine are then hauled away to a foreign land to die. This power plant promoted such unethical activity of murder.
