Navajo Nation Sues EPA

<p>The Navajo Nation has sued the EPA for stalling on an air permit for the proposed Desert Rock coal plant. We <a id="t082" href="../../../view/navajo-country-coal" title="reported">reported</a> last month that Navajo Nation president Joe Shirley might file suit. <br />

The Shirley administration says it will receive $5 million in tax revenue a month from the Desert Rock project. But Navajo citizens <a id="b8vz" href="../../../view/residents-holler" title="don’t expect">don’t expect</a> to see much of that money. Nor do they <a id="sxuk" href="../../../view/navajo-energy" title="expect">expect</a> to see any of the electric power the plant will generate, despite the fact that about 18,000 Navajo families still live without electricity.</p>
