  • Navajo group offers alternatives to coal-fired power plant

    By Susan Montoya Bryan
    Albuquerque, New Mexico (AP)

    A group of Navajos released a report during January that spells out a host of renewable energy alternatives to a controversial coal-fired power plant proposed for the nation’s largest Indian reservation.

    The Navajo Nation’s Dine Power Authority and Houston-based Sithe Global Power have partnered to build the $3 billion Desert Rock plant on tribal land in northwestern New Mexico. The plant would be capable of producing electricity for up to 1.5 million homes in cities across the Southwest.
