Environmentalists halt planned Utah coal plant on Kaiparowits plateau
Environmentalists cheered the shelving of the Kaiparowits coal plant project, while supporters warned energy independence would be hurt. The $3.5 billion plan would have built a 3 million kilowatt facility serving Southern California and Arizona, with four coal mines on the Kaiparowits plateau near Lake Powell. Southern California Edison, San Diego Gas and Electric, and Arizona Public Service cited rising costs, regulatory hurdles, and lawsuits. Interior Secretary Kleppe kept the issue on a back burner. Local residents and Gov. Rampton voiced disappointment, noting economic and energy implications.
