Tribally-owned wind farm
Catherine pointed out that public ownership of wind farms is an active issue in the Environmental Justice community. In many cases, the places that are rich in wind are poor in many other areas, so monetizing wind energy could be very important.
Enter the Rosebud Sioux Wind Turbine. It’s an awesome 750 kW wind turbine on the Rosebud Sioux reservation, creating power for the community and selling some back to nearby Nebraska and South Dakota utilities. And get this—phase 2 of the project is a 30 MW wind farm. Check out photos at NativeEnergy.
