In Black Mesa, Arizona a federal judge has vacated a permit for Peabody Western Coal Company’s massive coal-mining complex in the area. The judge acted in response to one of several appeals filed by Navajo and Hopi residents as well as a diverse coalition of tribal and environmental groups. The Black Mesa Coal Mine Complex has a long history of controversy stemming from concerns about air and water pollution, impacts to local residents, the drying of aquifers and sacred springs, as well as coal’s contribution to global warming.
