From Energy Exploitation...

1/3 of all uranium and 2/3 of all low sulfur coal come from Native lands.

Every proposed site for a national nuclear waste dump is on Native land.

The largest coal strip mine in the world is on a Native Reservation.

Mega dams have flooded over 3 million acres of Native territory.

Nuclear Waste and Native Lands

To Energy Justice

Wind power on tribal lands could supply more than half of America's electricity.

The wind potential on 12 Reservations in North and South Dakota alone could meet 41% of U.S. energy demand.

The sunshine that strikes American roads each year contains more energy than all the fossil fuels used by the entire world.

Renewable Energy Justice

The United States is the largest energy market in the world and is undeniably addicted to energy consumption. The unequal allocation of power is reflected in the relationship between the U.S. and Native America. Much of the U.S. "domestic" energy resources originate in Native America. As a consequence, Native America suffers from disproportionate extraction of non-renewable resources on tribal lands and the resulting disastrous toxic and environmental effects. Honor the Earth has worked for over a decade with front-line groups to oppose further destruction of their land and way of life. Honor the Earth is interested in addressing the economic issues posed by energy development choices in Native America, and in challenging tribal governments to move towards a renewable energy agenda. We are also interested in democratizing power production.
