A Native American tribe is building a $1B solar farm in Colorado.

The collection field is eight miles long and a mile wide, producing over 900 megawatts, 1000 construction jobs, and 10 to 50 ongoing jobs.

“We, as the Ute Mountain Ute tribe, had been a fossil fuel tribe with oil and gas for a long time, probably over 50 years. Today, with #climate change, you can see the impact of what’s happening to our world. So renewables is the new future right now.”
