This tribe is in Colorado, not Utah, despite the name.

Transmission is expensive; you'd rather sell locally. Before you finance a $1B project it would be good to have a sense of how you expect to sell the outputs!

There is a star of WECC transmission lines going all around the region just south of the Colorado border near ShipRock NM.

Part of what made this project viable IMHO was the adjacency to existing WECC Interface Paths.

Simply put, we're going to have to build transmission infrastructure in the US.

Right now we get past a lot of that by bundling up coal and natural gas in trains and pipes and generating closer to the sink.

Transmission lines are already there because of the nearby decommissioned coal plant: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Juan_Generating_Station
