556 Hildegard AdamsPlease- enough is too much. Stop dumping on Navajos and all other natives.
557 Brandon VelivisThe air quality is already visibly terrible when I enter Farmington from the south. The last thing we need is another large polluting facility in our area that is only going to benefit people in far away locations while we are stuck with the mess and health side effects. I have heard of previous promises that are made by companies that wish to embark on such projects, only to have them fail to deliver. The same is true of the supposed economic oppurtunities for the area as well. A few local people will gain jobs, but the remainder of the community will be stuck with a degraded environment and health.

582 Lonna HarwoodI don't agree with the plant idea there are other ways to bring employment and revenue to the reservation but not through pollution the plant is just another way of genocide !
583 Victoria AlbaNo Desert Rock.......it will deplete our water, pollute our air and damage the vegetation.
584 Larry McCabeIs this a foregone conclusion, or is there still hope?

589 Richard KeyesWe as a collective humanity need desparetly to invest in non polluting energy sources. the last thing we need or the earth needs is more coal fired electric generation plants. Coal fired plants have an immediate negative health impact on the people living in the surrouning area and ultimately on us all. Please invest in a cleaner alternative to coal, preferly non Nuclear , non CO2 emitting. Thank You.

591 cheryli am a native nevadan who grew up with mary and carrie's family. their love of the land and animals and family. is something to be admired. up until the gold rush nevada was nothing but empty land. it;s more than that, it belongs to the western shoeshone. we all know that.you can't buy someones heritage with 20, 000 dollars or any amount of money. the us government took everything away they could. not the dann family!!! proud to know the dann family and miss them cheryl wright from carlin now in west virginia
592 AnonymousEnergy efficiency represents a greater resource than this new plant for "generating" new kilowatts. It is urgent that you look at alternatives instead of building something new. The plant will be more expensive and more polluting than necessary.

597 vivian harveyStop this desecration of Indigenous property! Our government has dienfranchised the Native American and now they are robbing them of the little bit of land that was "given" to them by the government. We are a nation who cannot keep any promise or treaty. Shame on us.
598 Ann GarrisonThe indigenous Diné Navajo people at Desert Rock, on the northwestern Navajo Reservation, along with the indigegenous Hopi and Diné Navajo people at Big Mountain/Black Mesa have already endured so much lethal coal mining, coal slurrying, coal-fired power, uranium mining, and nuclear waste dumping, that this area of the Southwest Four Corners is also known as the National Sacrifice Area. Were the50-acred Desert Rock coal-fired power plant to be built, it would not only fill the air with more coal-fired power smokie, but also squander almost all the accessible water in this part of the Four Corners. leaving the native surivvors there with no accessible water to drink, to bathe in, to feed to their herds, or to practice the dry land farming techniques developed for desertt use. This plant would be a horrendous crime against all nature and against people who have already suffered far more than anyone ever should have in the face of European conquest. I finally paid to install solar panels on my house, and this City and County of San Francisco has been struggling for years to go solar, despite the fierce resistance of greedy power companies, and we are going to win before this plant could be built. "Clean coal" is oxymoronic, and there is no need for one more kilowatt of coal-fired power on the Southwest Power Grid. Stop Sithe Global Industries at Desert Rock and Western Peabody Coal at Big Mountain/Black Mesa. --Ann Garrison, San Francisco
