No bright light from the beams, no insects, no brids, no raptors getting fried. Except maybe some hummingbirds and some bees that see in infrared.
But hey, TANSTAAFL.
I’m thinking that limiting the spectrum to infrared would significantly reduce the amount of energy that could be extracted. If there’s a reduction in capability, would the facility even be a viable proposition? Since I don’t know the numbers, I can’t do much more than speculate at this point. Anyone who can provide more information, please weigh in.
