There is concern in northern Arizona over the Navajo Generating Station being built at Page which will generate 2.1 million kilowatts of power. The plant is to be coal powered and there will be air pollution as a result of this. The pollution caused by a coal power plant in northern Arizona can be controlled, but it will cost the consumers more money. When challenged by the Arizona State Air Pollution Control Advisory Council, the utility company's reply was that it is their job to provide power at the lowest possible cost. Regardless of whether low rent housing in Flagstaff is built in one high density area or in scattered sites, the location will still be in east Flagstaff.
