with the generating station running at full power, you could see for 30 miles or so from page. big mistake taking that out...especially today with the drought.
@@harlandtsosie2037 Yes, as in my town of Galesburg Illinois the number one employer Maytag left to make things in Mexico.and ended not working out there either...All done through NAFTA.
@@sevens3383 Just to see how hypocritical you are, do you drive? Do you heat your home? Have you ever flown in a jet airplane?

In England we'd call this a Brown Field Site. The grid connection is still there I presume, so it looks like a good location to build a solar or wind generating plant.
I totally agree sir !!!! Windmills cannot power a factory. Especially a steel mill. Coal fired power plants are the norm in european cities. Natural gas also fired the boilers to turn the generator turbines.
My Dad said that some of the boilers were so large, ten men could stand shoulder to shoulder with their arms outstretched at the widest diameter, and still not reach the other side.
Between the power plant, coal mine, local business vendors, probably over 1,000 jobs lost. Condemn the locals to poverty or unwanted government subsidies.
@@sketcharmstrong8491 Living in Page went to crap really fast, nothing but hotels, hotels, hotels, hotels, and- the land :) which isn't. And yes sometimes Navajos like to talk about this and that and nothing ever gets done, I'm surprised NGS and SRP even listened to them-
So sad. My father worked there many years ago. He had so many interesting stories of working there.
so happy
@everettd9119 you're a redditor
My grandpa died building this plant. Scaffold broke while 7 stories up. Feel to his death. It was sad to see go but a pleasure to go see.

I imagine the 400 to 500 jobs this plant produced were pretty good paying...What jobs replaced these after the plant was demolished?
None! Page is cheap!

Who cares about jobs if the jobs jeopardize our own planet

Tourism and hospitality is exploding in page. The economy is simply shifting.

After they tear down the dam there will be absolutely zero economy and the poor Navajo will be even poorer. Congratulations.
A major mistake. You should have left this system in place for emergencies...like when you are out of water.

Looks like a navy battleship.

R.I.P. my friend 😔
1:12 Wow those stacks got FAT in their old age! 😮 1:49
What are we going to use as a back up in case of national emergency????? The ohio valley has lost and is losing power plants. All over the usa.

You navajos dont like to work anyway. Just a bunch of "Supervisors" if you ask me.....
