""As tribes we don't have the capital or the equity to have Indian tribes and Indian country be able to build out a project of this magnitude. At the end of the day, we have to partner up.""
""Any type of energy development we propose on the Navajo Nation we will definitely have opposition. ... And it stops projects. But, if we don't have any revenues ... how can we help our communities?""
A 234-mile natural gas pipeline project across the Navajo Nation is progressing after a resolution was passed by the Resources and Development Committee. The pipeline will run from near Farmington, New Mexico, to north of Flagstaff, Arizona. The resolution allows Tallgrass Energy to begin work, contingent on environmental and archaeological studies. The committee's debate centered on funding challenges faced by tribes, emphasizing the need for partnerships to support energy development and community revenues, despite potential opposition to such projects.
