Yeah but the same maggots that took their jobs away are the white people who forced the Washington Redskins to change their name. It all balances out in the end. ROTFL! Sarc/
Makes me think that there is another group moving to MAGA. Native American/Indian
The local congressman said instead of high paying oil gas and coal jobs, the Indians could sell art and pottery.
They closed the Navajo power plant in Page, AZ few years ago.
By Obama rules. Trump tried to save it, but could not.
That plant combined with Black Mesa coal mine provided something like 70% of Hopi tribe income and like 30% of Navajo tribe.
I am not sure, I would presume that the taxpayers are funding the tribes now.
One or two workers got job in IT!
Could they at least still mine the coal? There’s a shortage of that worldwide too. Even if we don’t burn it ourselves, there are plenty of buyers out there and that would preserve at least some solid paying jobs for the community.
Clean up your voter fraud or lose everything.
Uh, Sharon, that would be the Democrat Party you voted for.
I am quiet sure Washington has a plan for the Navajo Nation.
Sort of like their EPA clean up plan for the Animas River.
Or maybe one like they had for the Sioux at Wounded Knee.
Oh yeah, I am sure Washington has a plan for the Navajo.
The San Juan plants and the Waterflow plants(this one on the reservation) were running when I lived there in 1973-1977.
There were plans to build other power plants on the Navajo Reservation but the American Indian Movement (AIM) of 1975 got that shut down.
The Page AZ plants, being built in 1974, have been decommissioned and destroyed.
Perhaps they need to see about building mine mouth plants on the Kaiparowits Plateau, planned fifty years ago but never built. Great coal fields there!
Meanwhile our coal fired plant, in Arkansas, built in 1977, is still running using low sulfur Wyoming coal. Obama tried to get it shut down but they simply rebuilt the plant to remove the less than 3% sulfur still in the coal. One of the most cost efficient plants around.
The moronic voters of NM in a statewide referendum paid the utility PNM over 300 million dollars to shut this plant down and replace it with wind and solar power. It was supposed to be shut down last year but of course the wind and solar produce a fraction of what was promised so they kept it one more year to prevent rolling blackouts in Albuquerque and Santa Fe.
There is no gubernatorial election next year so I guess folks will simply swelter in the dark.
Hey, watch it! The word “tribal” is offensive. No reference to the Injuns’ culture is permitted!
I used to buy cheap cigarettes from their operation in Gallup. I wonder if the government killed that too. I heard the Gov bullied the Senecas out of business by stopping USPS shipments and then forcing UPS to stop shipping.
