Even as the federal government has taken aggressive steps to slow the growth of renewable energy, one Native American tribe in Colorado has managed to push a major solar project across the finish line.
The Ute Mountain Ute tribe successfully brought a utility-scale solar energy project online, a significant accomplishment given the current political environment surrounding clean energy development in the United States.
President Trump has made reducing renewable energy development a notable part of his administration’s energy agenda, creating obstacles for projects like this one across the country. Despite those headwinds, the tribe moved forward and completed the large-scale project.
