This is the Tohono O'odham Tribal Land...
This is the Tohono O'odham Tribal Land...
and right in the middle of it, is a politically imposed boundary separating this historically expansive tribal community.
According to the Tribal Electricity Access and Reliability Report by the Department of Energy, the Indian Country is a historically underdeveloped and disadvantaged area that has a lot of “untapped energy resources”. Many tribal communities suffer from higher-than-average electricity reliability issues and generally pay more than average for the service. This means that there is both a need and an interest to implement renewable energy sources on t6ribal lands to help increase economic growth and provide jobs for tribal members.
The ECCS could bring both economic prosperity and a source of renewable energy to the border Tribal Lands, providing the Tohono O'odham Tribal Nation allows the placement of an ECCS along the border on their lands.
The Tohono O’odham Tribal Nation located in Southwest of the U.S. have opposed the placement of the enhanced border spreration structure across their tribal lands, because physically separating and isolating the northern community from southern community located within Mexico has not been acceptable option to the nation.
But, allowing the construction of the enhanced border security structure would not only cut border security costs, but also provide the structure required by the ECCS to allow the nation to partake of this new clean energy resource.
But what if...
But what if...
The border dividing Tohono O'odham Tribal Land could be turned into more than just a separation structure? The ECCS transforms the primary purpose of this structure by adding power production, which in turn improves relations between both sides of the structure, providing these new energy resources were shared, creating new employment opportunities, and providing new environmental and economic benefits to both nations.
