Crispy Critters — Nevada Solar Plant Not For The Birds

A solar-power project set to open next month in Nevada has fried 130 birds during tests and will soon join another solar farm in California in avian incineration.

If as many birds being burned by solar power farms built in the U.S. were to wash up on our beaches soaked in crude oil from a leaking offshore well, the outrage would be deafening.

But as with the wind turbines that now cover acre upon acre of former "pristine" countryside, what amount to avian Cuisinarts slicing and dicing everything that flies, including endangered species, only the crickets are chirping.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi is a big fan of green energy. So is her brother-in-law Ronald Pelosi. He was a senior executive with a company called Pacific Corporate Group (PCG). Among PCG's investments is SolarReserve, based in Santa Monica, Calif., which received a $737 million loan guarantee to build a 110-megawatt solar-thermal plant near Tonopah in Senate Minority Leader Sen. Harry Reid's Nevada.

Communists Democrats death ray gun. Its for the birds, don’t you know! All hail killers, the Democratic Party.

Drive by this site when it’s operating. The intensity of the light is overwhelming. Not only would birds get evaporated, but I imagine the insect loss is massive.

Reminds me of the song, “Happy Birthday” by Weird Al.

It doesn’t take a military genius to see
We’ll all be crispy critters after World War III
There’s nowhere you can run to, nowhere you can hide
When they drop the big one, we all get fried

(Come on boys and girls, sing along, ok?)

Change it to:
(from the birds’ perspective)

It doesn’t take a eco-nut genius to see
We’ll all be crispy critters after Crescent Duneys
There’s nowhere you can fly to, nowhere you can hide
When they start the big one, we all get fried!

(Come on lil’ fledglings, sing along, ok?)

The average walking around citizen will be imprisoned if he even so much as holds a Bald Eagle feather, but Solar farms can cook the National Bird.
