On the next Your Call, we'll have a conversation about the tradeoffs of green technology. Google and General Electric have invested hundreds of millions of dollars in solar and wind projects. Environmentalists and native rights activists say the solar plan in the Mojave Desert should be relocated to protect wildlife and sacred sites. Can the drawbacks of big green tech offset the benefits? Join us at 10 or send an email to feedback@yourcallradio.org. It's Your Call with Rose Aguilar and you.
