Possible technologies that projects could tap intoincludee waste-to-energy, solar and wind power technologies.
Once a projec is authorized bya tribe, USST will manage the engineering, development and operation of the and coordinate job For example, if there’s a landfill in a tribal community, USST might develop a waste-to-energy producing electricity that it wouldr likely sell to a locao utility. “We are excited to form this allianceswith USST,” Lorenda Sanchez, executive directofr for CIMC said, in a news “This partnership will open the door for California’a tribes to take an active role in protectingb their native lands and the environment.
