Dear US EPA,

I am very concerned that you have proposed to issue a final
decision on the air permit for the proposed Desert Rock facility
by July 31, 2008. This huge facility will emit millions of tons
of global warming pollution and toxic mercury emissions over the
50 to 60 years it would operate and will have impacts that reach
far beyond the Four Corners region. Such an important and
long-lived decision requires a thorough and thoughtful
consideration of ways to address global warming pollution and
mercury emissions. Issuing a premature decision by July 31
without requiring the necessary protections puts the health and
air quality of our communities at risk.

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. The Southwest is home to world class solar and
wind resources that can power our economy without harming human
health and the environment.



Sincerely,
Paul Marcell
