Pueblo opposition slows New Mexico geothermal plant plan
In northern New Mexico’s Jemez Mountains Pueblo leaders call the Baca Reddit geothermal project sacred land. They seek protection under the Indian Religious Freedom Act of 1978 while unions and public service push the $125 million demonstration plant. DOE involvement hinges on balancing energy goals with sacred lands issues.

Indigenous Opposition Deliberates A-10 Plant at Public Hearing
Tafoya cautions that an A-10 plant would bring only limited employment for about 140 workers, while 25 operate the site. Peter Pino of the Zia tribe links water from mountain flows to religious beliefs and ancestral farming, arguing the water’s significance outweighs economic gains. Iibur claims no harm to the water supply, but questions trust given past history.
