FROM black mesa, near Hopi and work for Black Mesa Water Coalition which addresses Peabody’s use of water. Mohave Generating Station used pristine water 3.3 million gallons to mix with coal. We formed organization to lok at environmental injustice of how water used while pple hauling water.
Coal industry has created jobs but also created coal combuston waste. Taught by grandmothers that Black Mesa’s liver is coal and if continue abusing then it will make us sick so call to transition into clean energy to benefit Navajo, Hopi, and governments.
