The End Of An Era: Navajo Nation Gives Up On Generating Station Purchase

The Navajo Nation announced Friday that it has given up trying to purchase one of the west’s largest coal-fired power plants.

The Navajo Generating Station was a giant revenue maker for both the Navajo and Hopi tribes.

From KJZZ’s Fronteras Desk in Flagstaff, Laurel Morales joined The Show to talk about what led up to this point.
