Navajo County is currently entertaining 18 different renewable energy projects.
If they were to all be approved it would generate 8.6 gigawatts of Power.
Our current Transmission lines can only transmit 1.8 gigawatts of Power.
The math simply does not add up. Which leave the citizens of Navajo County to strongly suspect ulterior motives from the Board of Supervisors.

March 24, 2026 Real AZ, Chirs Pasters Power Point, page 18, claims of 10 items of “investments” Real AZ brought into the county. 8 of which when, Public Records Requested, the county had no record of Chris Pasters Real AZ Claims. No New Housing Manufactures, No New Developers of 250 Units, No New 900 job creations, No New Technology & Recreation, No 38 New Companies investing in economic growth. The only growth seems to be the membership fees charged by the County through Real AZ, mostly coming from renewable energy projects, the banks, investors and builders. Chris Pasters also called the Grand Canyon a "Big Dirt Hole".
The Board of Supervisors also falsely Claims, that they have “No Authority” to Stop these renewable projects, but some how, 5 other Arizona Counties have either completely banned them or have strongly protected their communities and put higher guard rails in place. And that is what they should do. With no legal push back.
Navajo County Board of Supervisors, on the other hand, have deliberately tried to hide public meetings, and have signed NDA’s, (non disclosure agreements) to further our community in believing the Board has ulterior motives. Case in point, last Thursdays meeting, June 4th, 2026, at Art Alliance in Show Low, where Navajo County Manager, Bryan Layton misrepresented the county, by claiming that the Show Low Chamber initiated the meeting, when it was the County that initiated it. & the meeting was NOT properly published. Navajo County does this so the county can meet it’s quota for public meetings, however they know full well the publics opposition to these renewable and they way are handling it. Hiding them keeps the public out! But this one got leaked…BWTM!
88 angry people showed up to this meeting with less than 24 hr notice, and you would think that it should be a huge indicator of just how much the people of this county strongly oppose what, The Board of Supervisors are doing regarding these antiquated Renewable projects, & rightly so.
The Board of Supervisors, County Staff & Related Officials are in violation of the following A.R.S. 35-212 - A.R.S. 38-503 - A.R.S. 38-431 - A.R.S. 39-121 & A.R.S. Title 11
We demand the Board impose an immediate moratorium under ARS 11-833 on all new and pending utility-scale wind, solar, battery, and data-center projects – and ALL pause applications until there are stronger rules protecting the citizen of this county.
We must no longer tolerate secret deals and backroom meetings. Navajo County Board of Supervisors total disregard for the citizens regarding grossly encroaching industrial projects is downright shameful and they should all be recalled!
