Sadly more birds probably died because of habitat disruption caused by the building of the solar facility. Those things don’t exactly have a small footprint, ya’ know.
Have you seen the wind farms in the plains? They’re an environmental disaster that have gone unnoticed. Imagine the whole plains filled with these:http://www.geospectra.net/kite/beaumont/beaumont04.jpg
That’s what it’s like.
They happen to be in the area of protected habitat for the desert tortoise.
This turtle prevents our military from fully utilizing its land at Ft Irwin, prevents residential development, and required a reduction in herd size for ranchers on federal lands (Bundy Ranch). Nothing, and I mean nothing, is more important than that turtle.
Except a solar plant :)
Its for the children though - Harry Reid’s children.
