The state of New
Mexico currently receives approximately
86 percent of its electricity from
coal-fuelled power plants, and plans
are in place to build more coal-fuelled
facilities in support of New Mexico's
growing demand for energy. Peabody
Energy's Mustang facility is a proposed
300-megawatt project to be located
north of Grants, New Mexico and it
will be using coal from the existing
Lee Ranch Mine that is currently operated
by Peabody. An air quality permit
application has already been filed
and accepted as complete.
