    Navajo adapted quite well.

    This is happening in South Africa as well. Wealthy companies are offloading their coal mines on disenfranchised groups(black SAians) and it is seen as progress. But the question is, will this prove to be a mistake in the future? We’ll see if the “investments” are worth it.

      The world is moving to green energy and more big corporations and rich countries are investing heavily in green energy infrastructure. Coal will soon be worth little money and employ fewer people.

      In southeast asia, and subsaharan africa where the wind and solar power resources are negible, and they don't have money to put on the infrastructure that natural gas demands, or in nuclear power because they don't have skilled people coal is a good patch until develop and then they exploit hydro and geothermal and maybe nuclear in the future.

    The Navajo Nation revenue on Natural Resources doesn't go back into the tribal economy but only into the pockets of the tribal leaders. I've yet to see the Navajo Nation Politicians care for their own people. Just look at pur reservation as a whole. Housing, Hospitals, clinics, Utilities to tribal members, roads, schools, our law enforcement, jails, Fire houses and EMS. Tribal building and event centers and the economy itself. Don't get me wrong those who have made it on to Ntech are doing great but no one knows the truth. Its time we expose our tribal leaders and move forward with a better leadership that will make sure our profits from Natural, tourism, and organizational profits go back to the Nation the right way.

    What risk a white CEO that is being pay to play monopoly with other people's money

      What matters is that he is rich. Not that he is white.

      The CEO is making decisions for the company, not the nation. That would still be the case if he was Navajo. Race is practically irrelevant in this scenario, money is what matters.

    While coal is down in the US now, I bet the US is exporting a lot of coal since Russia invaded Ukraine.

    • @Jake-rs9nq
      @Jake-rs9nq 2 роки тому +2

      Actually the opposite. Most of the US exports were going to Asia, and now China is only importing a third of the American coal they imported last year. So overall exports are down.

    Hard to get on with Navajo Coal, your lucky to run anything only through contractors but at their pay rate and not NAs. 🧐

      It may not seem like that’s a good thing if you are struggling to find a job but honestly it is a good thing for you. I see we’re now pawning the deadly coal mining jobs off on the Navajo people. They must be sick of killing off the poorest white folks.

    Not that I have anything against the Navajo people, but i hope coal mining will be brought to a stop, not only in the USA, but world-wide. Their economic problems cannot be solved on the account of continue polluting this planet's atmosphere. They should have found better and healthier way of earning money.

    • @JD-ex7ix

      Unfortunately, the Navajo are landlocked and have no major cities, with little to no opportunity for farming/lumber. Hopefully they can find an alternative source of economic development, but I doubt it.
