Your review of the Desert Rock facility has failed to address harmful global warming and mercury emissions from the proposed facility, and it has not adequately considered clean energy alternatives. Numerous clean energy alternatives to the proposed plant would better protect human health and the environment by avoiding the harmful emissions associated with the proposed Desert Rock facility. The Four Corners region is blessed with enormous clean energy resources. By utilizing those resources we can meet energy demand in the region without further burdening air quality with another coal plant. Sincerely, Matthew King 2361 S. Garland St. Lakewood, CO 80227
