Letter: Plant owners deserve all the blame

Thursday, Jan. 12, 2006 | 8:51 a.m.

My husband and I read the Las Vegas Sun's Jan. 4 editorial regarding the Mohave Generating Station power plant that carried the headline, "Clearing the air over closed plant -- anger created by loss of jobs clouds the real issue as to who is to blame."

You told it like it is: The owners have known for the past six years that they needed to clean up the tons of pollutants being emitted daily into the air and yet they refused to do it.

We sure can't feel sorry for those owners. Let's hope those of us who live within the area of this plant in Laughlin never have to breathe those noxious fumes again.
