Us Power Plants Affect Indian Tribes

10% of all U.S. power plants, are within 20 miles of a reservation,
. . . affecting 48 different tribes.

4 smokestacks of the Reid-Gardner coal-fired power plant, first started dumping
. . . ash laced with mercury, lead and arsenic in 1965,
. . . on the Moapa Paiute Indian tribe.

The plant, recently acquired by Warren Buffett's MidAmerican Energy,
. . . when that company bought NV Energy, to be replaced
. . . by the first large-scale, 350 megawatt Solar project, on tribal land in the nation,
. . . that will come online in 2015, and
. . . the Coal fired plant will be completely closed down by 2017.
