Planet Visionaries – Ep 13: Standing Rock’s Wind Driven Future with Joe McNeil
About this episode
Alex Honnold interviews Joe McNeil about the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe's efforts to reclaim their energy future through wind and solar projects.
In this episode of Planet Visionaries, a landmark podcast series in partnership with the Rolex Perpetual Planet Initiative, host Alex Honnold sits down with Joe McNeil, CEO of Sage Development Authority of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe. His mission is economic and deeply cultural: to restore long-term stability for the next generation of Lakota people by reclaiming control of their energy future through wind and solar projects designed to keep revenue and opportunity within the community, as well as reshaping land ownership. For nearly a century, Rolex has supported pioneering explorers. Over time, the company has moved from championing exploration for the sake of discovery to protecting the planet. Through the Perpetual Planet Initiative, Rolex stands alongside the inspiring people who are dedicated to building a better future for all life on Earth.
