POWER PATHS

November 3, 2009 on PBS 



POWER PATHS offers a unique glimpse into the global energy crisis from the perspective of a culture pledged to protect
the planet, historically exploited by corporate interests and neglected by public policy makers.



The film follows an intertribal coalition as they fight to transform their local economies by replacing coal mines and
smog-belching power plants with renewable energy technologies. This transition would honor their heritage and support
future generations by protecting their sacred land, providing electricity to their homes and creating jobs for their
communities. 



Their story is a parable for our time, when the planet as a whole hungers for alternatives to fossil fuels. For
environmental trailblazers, it’s proof that going green is not only possible—it’s the only
choice we have.



  

The POWER PATHS story begins in the 1960s, when two massive coal mines open on Navajo and Hopi reservations in Arizona.
Between them, they produce enough coal to satisfy the unquenchable energy thirsts of Phoenix, Las Vegas and Los Angeles.
They also comprise the single largest strip-mining complex in the world. For more than 30 years, the mines—and
the Mohave Generating Station they supply—scar sacred native land, drain the natural aquifers and pollute the
Southwestern skies.



Meanwhile, beneath the high-tension power lines that carry electricity to the neon-saturated Vegas Strip, Native
American reservation dwellers have no electricity or running water.



Sickened by the economic disparity and the mounting toll on their land and health, some Navajo and Hopi tribe members
begin pressuring their tribal governments not to renew the mining leases, but to no avail. As a result, a handful of
grassroots organizers from both tribes join forces with The Sierra Club, the Grand Canyon Trust and the National Parks
and Conservation Association to fight back. Calling themselves the Just Transition Coalition, they take on wealthy and
entrenched adversaries from Peabody to Southern California Edison.



They succeed in closing the power plant (and subsequently the mines) in 2005. But the ecological and moral victory comes
at a cost: About half of the adults on the reservations had worked for the mines, and are now unemployed.



Undeterred, the Just Transition Coalition shifts gears and heads for California, where they win a legal battle to use
the shuttered Mohave plant’s cap-and-trade pollution credits to finance investment in solar panels and wind
turbines for their reservations. 



In one scene, a Navajo mother screws a light bulb into a kitchen socket for the first time and sees it light up,
enabling her children to stop depending on sunlight or dangerous kerosene lanterns in order to do their homework. She
weeps in relief and gratitude.



Today, more tribes are seeking investments and partnerships to create green-energy economies on the reservation, with
hopes that one day, renewable energy will replace casinos as a primary means for economic development and tribal
self-sufficiency.



As the nation at large struggles to disengage itself from the chains of a fossil-fuel-based economy, POWER PATHS signals
cause for hope that an alternative is not somewhere in the future, but possible right now. And Native Americans are
leading the way.



Update

In June 2009, the 21st Navajo Nation Council voted 62 to 1 to establish a Navajo Green Economy Commission, according to
the Sierra Club. The legislation, which is designed to take advantage of federal stimulus funds for green jobs, is
intended to stimulate the economy by developing a sustainable energy infrastructure on the Navajo reservation.
