False Promises: 'Clean Coal' Comes to The Land of Enchantment
From its inception, the Desert Rock Power Plant proposal has been fraught with controversy. The San Juan Citizens Alliance provides a useful summary of the battle between the plant's backers (Sithe Global Power and Dine Power Authority), the EPA, and local citizens. Sithe and DPA claim that the EPA is delaying its air permit unnecessarily, while at the same time air quality continues to deteriorate from the two plants already operating in the area.

3. Sounds pretty
But stinks to high heaven and when even Obama's talking clean coal - that pretty name becomes a force to be reckoned with.
