Ninth Circuit Denies Tribes' Appeal to Block $10B, 300-Mile Arizona Energy Project

The Ninth Circuit U.S. federal court has ruled against Native American tribes and environmentalists who sought to block a $10 billion energy transmission project in Arizona. The project, which involves the construction of a 300-mile transmission line, aims to help decarbonize the Southeast. However, it has faced opposition from power companies and concerns over its impact on sacred sites, including the 'Oak Flat' area, which is considered sacred by the Apache tribe.
