Tribal communities have tremendous untapped wind and solar energy resources and are central to the green economy of the future. Our tribal lands have: 535 Billion kWh/year of wind power generation potential, about 14% of US annual generation and; 17,000 Billion kWh/year of solar electricity generation potential, about 4.5 times total US annual generation.
One example of green economic development is to fully authorize a tribal solar project to cover the 355 miles of an open federal Central Arizona Project canal with solar photovoltaic cap to generate over 1500 megawatts of clean, efcient solar power displacing dirty coal.
WITH THESE ACTIONS, WE CAN DEVELOP A GREEN ECONOMY BASED ON JUST RELATIONS WITH NATIVE AMERICA.
