Dozens of personal, pointed stories like this one helped to put a stop to coal plant construction, from Four Corners New Mexico to the four corners of North America, in 2008.
As I write this comment, almost every fossil-fueled station like Desert Rock in the U.S. is on hold -- and to some degree so are the coal mining practices that accompany them.
The same phenomenon that stopped the irresponsible expansion of nuclear power after Three Mile Island is the same one that is halting coal in its tracks today: An enlightened American public simply says, "No."
Keep up the good work!

Review of New Coal Plants on the Drawing Board
This is a good heads up and timely report on another coal plant going onto Navajo lands, the third within 10 miles of each other.
There is a comment at the end that we need to limit these plants to prevent more co2 and other greenhouse gas emmissions.
Some of the Navajo protestors tell their personal stories.
I'd recommend whoever use this piece to also announce the group's website. There are links to chilling documents.
