Native American Rights Activist Serve Eviction Papers to Energy Company

2007-01-30

Native American rights activists gathered at Calpine headquarters in San Jose yesterday to dissuade the energy company from its decades-long plan to develop a power plant on a sacred area near Mount Shasta. The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals struck down the energy company's leases to the land last year, stopping all energy development. Tribes and environmentalists served Calpine with an eviction notice to pressure them to give up their plans and not appeal the ruling. Calpine operates over 90 geothermal, renewable power plants in the U.S. - nearly 30 of those are in California. FSRN's Christina Aanestad reports.
