What the Ivanpah Airport would destroy

Posted by Chris Clarke on September 8, 2008

Ivanpah sunset 2

This is a view from the Spring Mountains southeast toward the site of the proposed airport.

I’ve put a few more such photos in a Flickr set, to be added to as time passes.

And if you’re in the mood for something less depressing, I’ve also posted some photos I took Monday in the nearby Spring Mountains, which will merely be made intolerably loud but not actually destroyed. Though the bighorn will likely die out.

And now if you’ll excuse me, I must run. It’s only about 80 degrees out at 11:30 pm, and I am celebrating by sleeping out in the J trees.
