“Reducing our carbon footprint and dependency on fossil fuels is a global problem but one that Cherokee Nation can help to solve,” Principal Chief Chuck Hoskin Jr. said. “We are deeply committed to clean energy and sustainable community projects such as these that not only benefit our citizens and neighbors years into the future, but also make good economic sense and help our environment. Our goal is to reduce our carbon emissions 25% by 2027 and we will get there making more of these clean energy investments.”
