Black Mesa Peabody Coal Controversy
Peabody Energy coal mining operations in the Black Mesa plateau of the Four Corners region in the western United States began in the 1960s and ended in 2019. The plateau overlaps the reservations of the Navajo and Hopi Tribes. Controversy arose from an unusually generous mineral lease agreement between the Tribes and Peabody Energy, the coal company's use and degradation of a potable source of water to transport coal via a pipeline from the mine to a power plant hundreds of miles away, and the public health and environmental impacts of strip mining on tribal lands. Controversy In 1964, Peabody Energy (then Peabody Western Coal), a publicly traded energy company based in the Midwestern United States, signed a contract with the Navajo Tribe and two years later with the Hopi Tribe, allowing the company mineral rights and use of an aquifer. The contract was negotiated by prominent natural resources attorney John Sterling Boyden, who claimed to be representing the Hopi Tribe while ...

Black Mesa (video Game)
''Black Mesa'' is a 2020 first-person shooter game developed and published by Crowbar Collective. It is a third-party remake of ''Half-Life'' (1998) made in the Source game engine. Originally published as a free mod in September 2012, ''Black Mesa'' was approved by ''Half-Life'' developers Valve for a commercial release; the first commercial version was published as an early-access version in May 2015, followed by a full release in March 2020 for Microsoft Windows and Linux. ''Black Mesa'' was developed in response to '' Half-Life: Source'' (2005), Valve's port of ''Half-Life'' to the Source engine, which lacked new features or improvements. Two teams wanted to improve on the Source remake and eventually merged to become Crowbar Collective. While they had originally targeted a release by 2009, the team realized they had rushed to this point and reevaluated their efforts to improve the quality of the remake. Since then, attention to details, adapting the game to an improved versi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Black Mesa (Apache-Navajo Counties, Arizona)
Black Mesa (also called Big Mountain) is an upland mountainous mesa of Arizona, north-trending in Navajo County, west and southeast-trending in Apache County. In Navajo it is called ('Black Mountain') and during Mexican rule of Arizona it was called Mesa de las Vacas (Spanish for 'mesa of the cows'). It derives its dark appearance from its pinyon-juniper and mixed conifer woodlands. Geography The mesa is located on the Colorado Plateau near Kayenta, Arizona, and rises to over 8168 feet. Its highest peak is located on Black Mesa's northern rim, a few miles south of the town of Kayenta.

Black Mesa (Warm Springs, Arizona)
The Black Mesa (Warm Springs, Arizona) of northwestern Arizona is the extreme southern section of the Black Mountains. It is a notable mountain section, since the entire Warm Springs Wilderness comprises the entire mesa; it is separated to the north from the Black Hills range by a canyon and road; the north side of the canyon is the southern border of the adjacent Mount Nutt Wilderness, thus comprising a two-sectioned wilderness region. The mesa is about long, north–south and about higher than the surrounding valleys to the east, south, and west.

Located in the New Mexico desert in a decommissioned Cold War missile site, it is the former employer of ''Half-Life'''s protagonist, Gordon Freeman, a theoretical physicist, and a competitor of Aperture Science. While the facility ostensibly conducts military-industrial research, its secret experiments into teleportation have caused it to make contact with the alien world of Xen, and its scientists covertly study its life-forms and materials. An "anti-mass spectrometer" experiment conducted on Xen matter causes a Resonance Cascade disaster that allows aliens to invade Earth, and is the catalyst for the events of the series. ''Half-Life'' was critically ac ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
