70,000 Joshua Trees are threatened by a 16-square mile project called Sawtooth Solar, near Beatty, Nevada. This utility-scale solar project proposal is adjacent the Death Valley National Park, along the "Nevada Triangle" in a basin called Sarcobatus Flat. This project is just one of dozens being proposed as 9 million acres of public land are opened to solar development. Kevin Emmerich and Laura Cunningham of Basin and Range Watch are joined by filmmaker Justin McAffee in this third of the series Desert Apocalypse. They look at all the plant and animal life in these ecosystems that are at stake. Along the way they explore alternatives for addressing both the climate and biodiversity crisis we face.
