“The Trinidad Rancheria stands in solidarity with other local tribes in opposition of offshore wind projects until there is shared tribal jurisdictional authority over, and tribal management of, offshore renewable energy activities,” the Trinidad Rancheria press release states. “There is insufficient scientific research on the adverse impacts associated with the floating wind turbines and platforms, the effects to marine life from the subsea transmission cables and the overland transmission lines, and there has been minimal effort to consult with Tribes on this project that would have massive impacts on our ancestral lands and waters.
