Mountain West News Bureau (NPR): “New Funding Helps Four Corners Tribes Adapt As Coal Declines in the Mountain West”
A piece run by several western public radio stations discusses a project funded by the Resilient Energy Economies initiative.
“New funding is aimed at helping fossil fuel-dependent communities in the Mountain West navigate a changing energy economy, with one project focused on the Four Corners region.
The effort is part of the Resilient Energy Economies Initiative, a philanthropic program led by Resources for the Future and partner universities. It’s supporting projects across the country designed to help communities prepare for economic shifts tied to the decline of coal and other fossil fuels.
In the Four Corners, the project is backed by about $70,000 and will focus on various communities, including the Navajo Nation and Hopi Tribe.”
