The dirt road ended five miles off the pavement, in a valley ringed by crumbling granite peaks.
While a drop in overall numbers of injured birds is certainly welcome news on the face of it, if the project poses a special risk to migrating birds its environmental impact could well extend across a startlingly wide swath of North America.
This gizmo could shrink our climate footprint without endangering wildlife, penalizing struggling ratepayers or requiring new, massive, and expensive infrastructure. In fact, widespread use of this technology could actually save the typical Californian...
