The Interior Department also commissioned the report for the Environmental Protection Agency that is leading to rules that may force the largest coal plant in the West — the Navajo Generating Station — to shut down as early as 2017.
Not only would the new pricey regulations — a $1.1 billion price tag for compliance — eliminate one of the most reliable energy sources in the region, but plant closure and impact on the coal mine that feeds it would put some 1,000 out of work on the already impoverished reservation.
Every now and then I get down to the end of the day And I have to stop and ask myself why I've done it. It just seems so useless to have to work so hard And nothin' ever really seems to come from it.

The Salazar regime is corrupt as they come. Here is Dr. Paul Houser’s statement. http://www.klamathbasincrisis.org/science/scientists/DrPaulHouser_toc.htm Houser was scientific integrity officer for the Klamath dam removal debacle. He causght them mis-stating and twisting scientific reports to support the proposal to remove 4 dams on the Klamath. He protested and they fired him. Now he has a whistleblower complaint.
Our County found the same issues with the Environmental Impact Report. They would take a scientist’s report and completely mis-state what it said.
Ken Saladbar is every bit the corrupt scumbag the rest of the regime is.
I can’t post what I’d like to say about him, among others.
