Solidarity Sant Jordi Last November, officials said, a heavily armed man with a history of anger at law enforcement opened fire on a sheriff’s deputy while he was driving in a remote area not far from Nucla. The officer returned fire, killing the man. A local prosecutor found the officer’s actions justified. Jeremy Nichols, the climate energy program director at WildEarth Guardians, the not-for-profit whose lawsuit led to the closure of Nucla’s power plant, is unabashed about his goals. “We want to shut down all coal-fired power plants. We want to keep all coal in the ground. We have a moral imperative to confront the climate crisis, and we can’t afford to say, ‘It’s OK for this power plant to run and not the others.’”A coal seam is visible below its sandstone bed, with a thin volcanic ash (white) layer in its upper portion.

Naturita is a small town the sits nestled between some of the largest outdoor recreation areas (Telluride and Moab, UT) in Southwest Colorado. Naturita’s name is derived from Spanish meaning “little nature.” What began as a vibrant ranching community along the San Miguel River, Naturita later became a supply center for nearby mines during the mining boom in Colorado. Founded in 1881 Naturita was once the epicenter for uranium mining, but now boasts some of the best year-round outdoor activities you can find in the U.S. and is a great place to start your outdoor adventures. From here, it is easy to hunt, fish, Jeep, ATV/dirt bike, mountain bike, camp, hike, paddleboard, snowmobile and more! The two communities especially clashed during the push to reopen a uranium mill near Telluride, a raging fight that started around 2009. The lower portion of the Naturita Formation represents river channel and floodplain deposits, whereas the upper part represent a complex of estuarine, lagoonal, and swamp environments of a coastal plain.

Richard Craig, a former Nucla town board member, recalled a comment by a member of an environmental group saying during one of the contentious hearings: “Well, I don’t see why they don’t want to go live in the city.”

A lot of people still have that feeling: ‘They’re just a bunch of hippies up there, just a bunch of rich people.’ You know what? It was the hippies that made Telluride rich ... If it wasn’t for the people in Telluride, a lot of us here in Nucla, Naturita and Norwood wouldn’t have jobs.” Later that day, a stranger in the burger joint one town over, a 1950s-style diner run by Seventh Day Adventists, broke into my note-taking to warn me that I had better be writing a nice story.
