An icon in the West (and a symbol of the accelerating death of coal in the US as a electric power source) is slated to come down Friday. As the former Navajo Generating Station implodes its smoke stacks. Once largest coal plant in the West. lakepowelllife.com/the-three-ngs-… via @kxazfm
Here is a story we did on the death of this plant--and the failed promise by President Trump to save the coal industry. I was at the plant early this year after it shutdown. Those are the smoke stacks that will be blown up Friday. nytimes.com/2020/10/05/us/…
A few photos I took (and one of me in the protective gear) during my tour of the plant. Was very weird being inside such a giant energy machine, gone dead. 
The clipboard is the count of the amount of power produced at the plant--as recorded at the control room--on the last day this plant produced electricity. It was still hanging there, just like food workers left in their lockers on the last day (yes, baked beans in a can)
