It uses 13-14 thousand tons/day.

That is possible but it may not be running full load. Also I would need to know the btu value of the coal and the efficiency of the unit to make a realistic estimate of fuel usage.

There have been a LOT of meetings on this. I attended some. It is snagged in between Navajos vs Hopis, traditionalists vs progressives, state vs federal, etc. The only constant has been the eco-freaks.

Stakes in the operation have been sold recently so someone sees a future in the plant. It will shut down and that should have a focusing effect on a bunch of people. This baby is too big to let go. Las Vegas will lose 6% of their power but new gas plants are coming online. The big loser will be SoCal.
