In what appears to be a major win for the Navajo Nation, the hydropower projects will not be moving forward after federal regulators denied the necessary permits. One reason for the denial was that the developers failed to consult the tribe about the project and the surrounding land. Initially, the project was given the green light to move forward while the regulators gathered more information and the debate took place, so this is an unusual change. Still, it's nice to see that the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission is prepared to admit when they've taken a wrong turn. This story has been in the news for a while, and I've been waiting to see the resolution. I'm glad the permits were denied.
