The story of coal burning power plants in the United States is not a new one. In the Four Corners region of the Southwest two existing coal burning power plants emit over 13 million pounds of chemical toxins into the air each year. Living in the shadow of the nations dirtiest power plants are the Navajos. The Dine People suffer from respiratory disease and cancer from the pollution laden air, soil, and water. Many Navajos have voted in opposition to a new power plant, Desert Rock, to be built on the Navajo Nation in the Four Corners area. But, no one is listening. From the top of the Federal Government down to the Tribal Council the People's voices are being ignored.
Each segment of the story contains images and audio voices of The People telling their true stories. Segments will be continually added.
