*Nope.  If somebody wanted to build a solar or wind farm on Native American
land the agreement would have to undergo a review by the bureau of Indian
affairs, which by the way is controlled by the interior department, which
is controlled by the president, to verify that the agreement is "in the
Indian landowner's economic best interest"; apparently they assume the
"Indians" are not competent enough to make that decision for themselves.
And as long as the present dimwit is POTUS you can be certain they will
decide it is NOT in the "Indian" landowner's economic best interest.*

*Why would you give a direct link to the White House operated by the
biggest liar on the face of the Earth? I would trust anything said on it
about as far as I could spit out a rat. *

*For most applications the intermittent nature of solar and wind are
serious disadvantages but not so much for AI data centers because
regardless of if they get their power from coal, natural gas,
hydroelectric, nuclear, solar or wind, they are ALL going to need extensive
battery powered back up power supplies, and probably emergency diesel
generators too. So they are all competing on a level playing field.*
