Environmentalists successfully closed the Mohave Generating Station in Laughlin, Nev., in December 2005 after a pollution lawsuit.
That shutdown cost the tribe [the Mohaves] more than $6.5 million per year, according to May, and closure of the Navajo Generating Station would wipe out another $11 million.
Shirley’s statement of solidarity with his neighboring Hopi tribe ripped environmentalists for fighting development of Desert Rock Energy Project. This is a $2.5 billion proposed coal-fired power facility that Shirley described as “the most important economic development project in our nation’s history.”
