That isn't such a wacky idea.
I've always wondered if the Indians could build a nuclear power plant on the reservation ?

--there is a tribe in Utah trying to get a nuke waste repository--that's causing all kinds of consternation--

Can't happen. The idiot Navajo chief just got back from a vacation with his "first lady" in Oslo, Norway where the envirowackos presented them with a plaque for declaring "the rez" a nuclear-free zone.

In a way that would be a win-win because they use a lot of water to send the slurry to Laughlin and this has been an issue in the negotions on who gets how much of the lower Colorado River water... and who's allocation the water used for the slurry goes against.

They actually wanted to build a pipeline to send the water from Mohave to the reservation at one point. Though this is electricity being produced in Nevada for SCE (Southern California Edison)

Right now there is concern about a plume of hexavalent chromium PG&E dumped close to the Colorado River in Topoc a long time ago -- it's leached through the sand and under the river; ADEQ is supposed to be overseeing the cleanup, but they do such a lousy job of policing what Nevada is dumping in the river from Laughlin that I dont' have a whole lot of confidence.... If the Colorado gets polluted it is bad news for California as well as Phoenix and Tucson.
