Albuquerque, NM (KKOB) — A small Navajo community near the Arizona–New Mexico border is raising concerns about a proposed coal mine expansion. The Navajo Transitional Energy Company is seeking approval to extend the life of the Navajo Mine by up to 110 years, even as the Four Corners Power Plant it supplies is expected to close in the coming years. Some residents question the long-term environmental impacts and say they want clearer information about the plan. Navajo Nation leaders supporting the proposal cite jobs and revenue as key reasons for moving forward.
