Your recent story, plan to drill in Grand Canyon Thwarted, for Time Being, stated that Peabody proposes to construct a pipeline in the Grand Canyon (ENR 12/2 p. 11). In fact, the proposal referenced wasnt in the Grand Canyon. It was proposed by others, not Peabody, and the proposal was reviewed and already discarded.
The Navajo Nation, Hopi Tribe, generating plant owners and Peabody are committed to exploring alternatives for a water source to transport coal and ensure continued operation of the Black Mesa Mine and the Mohave Generating Station. This, in turn, provides hundreds of jobs for Native Americans and injects nearly $2 million each week into the Navajo and Hopi economies, while providing low-cost electricity for families and businesses in the Southwest.
