Work on the $10 billion SunZia transmission project in Arizona has been temporarily suspended due to concerns from Native American tribes about the impact on religious and cultural sites. The Tohono O'odham Nation, San Carlos Apache Tribe, and Zuni Pueblo, among others, have raised concerns about the destruction of historic sites. The project, which aims to transport renewable energy across the West, is seen as a key part of the Biden administration's plan to boost renewables. The developer, Pattern Energy, has halted work as part of the Bureau of Land Management's consultation process.
