There is a second coal plant. In Page. Navajo Generating Plant -- that plant (operated by SRP instead of SCE) spent the money on scrubbers. They get their coal via electric cars from the Reservation, but from a different mining operation on the reservation.

As a matter of fact a famous (don't ask me his name) photographer stopped a cold, snowy day to photograph the plant in Page and was surrounded by FBI (post 911) demanding his cameras -- agreed to erase the photos (but didn't format the hard drive) and was let go with the camera....

Long story short, the guy sold one of the photos to Al Gore who uses the photos in his Global Warming literature -- had nothing to do with Global Warming -- was a cold, snowy, day and the steam from the plant (in black and white) looked like they were polluting.
