green electricity vs. indigenous heritage
04Nov10
An Imperial County Indian tribe has filed suit to stop a big solar project on which San Diego Gas & Electric is counting to get large amounts of green power.
The Quechan Indian tribe filed suit in San Diego federal court Friday, seeking an injunction against the Imperial Valley Solar Project, one of the first desert solar farms approved last month by Interior Secretary Ken Salazar.
The 3,500-member tribe says the 10-square-mile project about 95 miles east of San Diego will damage archeological sites.
