The goals of the Route 66 preservationists and the prudent renewable energy interests are compatible. Influx of capital to this area will benefit not only the immediate surroundings but also the entirety of Route 66. The history of Route 66 represents an important chapter of California and American history. Much more than a highway, Route 66 is an icon for freedom, hope, adventure and new beginnings for citizens across the country and around the world. But it is a manmade site, not a natural one and should be treated as such. The construction of renewable energy facilities is simply the next chapter in an ongoing saga of American innovation, spirit and creativity.
