Opponents fear some routes would do environmental damage to sensitive areas, including riparian habitat in the largely undeveloped San Pedro River Valley between Benson and Mammoth.

Clear danger?

Warming could hurt Tahoe fish, plants within decade

Within a decade or so, a changing climate could warm Lake Tahoe to the point that plants and fish are impacted profoundly, scientists said this week. The findings suggest regular "mixing" of Tahoe's waters could become less frequent or stop because of a warming climate. The result could be oxygen depletion of Tahoe's water and other changes producing a "major, permanent disruption" to the lake's ecosystem. (Reno Gazette-Journal)
