Campo Band
of the Kumeyaay Nation
The elected Campo Kumeyaay Nation Council supports
industrial wind energy as economic development.
Campo
Chair, Monique La Chappa has signed letters of support for SDG&E's ECO
Substation and Sempra's Energia Sierra Juarez project.
That support is ironic
because the Campo Band formally opposed the Sunrise Powerlink's southern route.
The Campo Nation's proposed
160-300 MW wind energy project with SDG&E and Invenergy, all rely on the
construction of the Sunrise Powerlink.
Internal dissent has been reported by
some tribal members stating that they
do not want more industrial wind turbines. These issues will most likely
arise in the next tribal elections.
