Navajos Set to Tap Wind Power. By Dennis Wagner and Ryan Randazzo, Arizona Republic, March 28, 2008. “Hundreds of windmills reaching nearly 400 feet into the sky could begin sprouting on the Navajo Reservation north of Flagstaff under a new agreement to harness wind energy for electrical use. The Navajo Nation announced Thursday that it will partner with a Boston company to capitalize on the blustery conditions prevailing on the high mesas of northern Arizona. The Dine Wind Project, which would be the first commercial wind farm in the state, calls for Citizens Energy Corporation to invest millions of dollars to build the energy-collecting towers. The enterprise was sealed this month by Navajo Nation President Joe Shirley Jr., other key tribal officials and Citizens Energy Chairman Joseph P. Kennedy II.”
