Time is running out! These signatures will be delivered to legislators who will be voting on the Desert Rock power plant. We have a very short amount of time to gather the names of people in opposition.
Your help is appreciated!

The Desert Rock power plant would be the third power plant on the Navajo reservation, south of Shiprock, NM. Elders and community members have been camped out in resistance to the power plant since December. We are now at the State Legislature in New Mexico opposing two bills that would give the power plant an $85 million tax credit.

The 1,500-megawatt coal-fired energy plant would pump more than10 million tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere annually, increasing the state of New Mexico's carbon dioxide contribution by at least 25 percent. The existing power plants in this area have been extremely devastating to the environment and the people of the area.

Please support Dooda Desert Rock, SAGE Council, and others as they work to stop this power plant from being built.
Thank you!
