Just Transition Coalition (Back to Air Quality and Energy Index)
Mohave Generating Station closed on December 31, 2005. The Grand Canyon Trust organized an innovative proposal to the California Public Utility Commission to direct the use of revenues from the sale of Mohave’s sulfur credits to benefit tribal communities affected by the closure of Black Mesa coal mine that supplied coal to the power plant. The "Just Transition Coalition" is engaged an developing alternative proposals that would reinvest approximately $30 million in annual revenues from the sale of sulfur credits with other sources such as clean and renewable energy bonds to create equity ownership options for tribes in wind and solar projects.
Founded by an alliance of Navajo and Hopi interest groups, the Trust, and Sierra Club, the Just Transition Coalition is now supported by dozens of chapters, villages, and an increasing number of tribally elected officials.
