Tax Rules Keep Tribe From Building Wind Farm

To clarify the point about taxes, I just wanted to paste in this part of NPR's story that I didn't include for brevity's sake (the caps are mine): "Non-Indians operating on Indian land DO pay state and local taxes, and that means tribes can't tax them as well, because that would amount to double taxation--a likely deal-breaker for anyone who wanted to do business with them...Tribes can't access tax credits like a private company would, but they also can't levy taxes, the way a government would."

Sadly, because of this, green innovation may just skip over some of the communities who need it most.
