Submit Written Comments in Opposition to Permits for the EEC
The two biggest culprits in Utah’s air pollution problem can be summed up by cars and coal. Coal-fired power plants in Utah and neighboring states contribute greatly to the dangerously unhealthy air we are all breathing. Several new coal-fired power plants are being proposed for Nevada upwind from the Wasatch front. One of them called the Ely Energy Center (EEC) will be just north of Ely, NV. Let’s stamp out the EEC before it even gets off the ground.
If you can’t go to the hearing in Nevada or the poster-making party January 7, but still want to be sure the NDEP knows you don’t want them to grant the permits they intend to grant for this proposed Ely Energy Center, you can submit written comments to
