The EPA made the right decision in reconsidering the Bush administration's midnight memo which sought to prohibit controls on global warming from coal-fired power plants. While EPA is considering how to address carbon dioxide emissions, they should hold off on issuing the air permit for the Desert Rock plant, which is currently being considered. Given the 12.7 million tons of carbon dioxide that would be emitted from this plant each year, it is essential that global warming be taken into account and that steps are taken to bring about a just transition to a clean energy economy for the Navajo communities near the Desert Rock plant.

The Sierra Club's Rio Grande Chapter is proud to partner with the following organizations in this effort: San Juan Citizens' Alliance, Dooda Desert Rock, Indigenous Environmental Network, Honor the Earth, Black Mesa Water Coalition, Natural Resources Defense Council, Earthjustice, the Center for Biological Diversity, To Nizhoni Ani, C Aquifer for the Dine and many others!
