They shut down the largest coal fired plant in the West, the Navajo power plant, because, the power was too expensive!
Not really, coal is still the cheapest energy source, but they loaded them with so many EPA rules and mandates, that eventually coal was more expensive than solar! Incredible!

BTW the plant and associated coal mine and railroad provided 50% of Navajo nation income and 80% of Hopi Nation income.
Most of the jobs were Natives from Navajo and Hopi reservations. Thanks Obama!
It cost then billions to shut down the plant.
They successfully retrained one employee for IT job!!!

Gee, can we sue the EPA for all of the increased electric costs as a result of Bammy’s “Your electric bills will necessarily skyrocket?” We are fed up with the LIES, and the Deep State Merd!

We were traveling out west when Obama was running the first time. All the signs and radio stations near the Navajo area were pushing for Obama. You get what you vote for it seems.
