The face of the desert is changing at a dramatic pace: 750 foot solar towers, miles of solar panels, 400+ foot giant windmills, new cities planned for wildlands, and even a hydro-electric project based in old mine pits.

With industrial scale solar and wind development \"on steroids\" (as former Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar put it) destroying desert tortoise habitat, along with wildlife ranging from foxes to raptors and bats, we take a look at another contributor to pollution: dirty electricity generated by these power projects.  We\'ve got Deanne Stillman writing her thoughts on tortoises, Miriam Raftery on when eagles die, and more.
A special section details theatre, TV & film in the desert.

Join The Sun Runner\'s Steve Brown and \"Mr. Route 66\" Jim Conkle for an adventurous road trip through time and the Mojave on America\'s Mother Road - Route 66.  Also: remembering Huell Howser, bobcat trapping, and more.
