(CBS/AP) – Workers at a state-of-the-art solar plant in the Mojave Desert have a name for birds that fly through the plant’s concentrated sun rays — “streamers,” for the smoke plume that comes from birds that ignite in midair.

Well done......................
Doesn’t matter...
These “alternative” energy sources have but one product they generate in abundance, and it’s not electricity.
Their primary purpose is to generate
LIBERAL SELF-RIGHTEOUSNESS.
Need video proof!
DOE did this.
How many billions of dollars did this cost and they had no idea it would happen?
Oh, that’s right. Anything goes with “renewable” energy. If it was an oil well or an evil coal mine, they would be shut down.
Dogs search for birds scorched by California solar power plant

141 birds were found dead between July 2012 and December 2013 at Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System, according to an April report by the National Fish and Wildlife Forensics Laboratory obtained by KCET.
47 of those birds were killed by solar flux - heat from mirrors at the facility’s ‘power tower’ - while 24 birds were killed by impact trauma.
....and lots of it, too!...................
Need video POOF!.....................
The Birds are plotting their revenge.
For all of the times the left falsely claims that conservatives are causing polar bears to drown, the fact that migratory birds and being shredded by wind farms, and now fried by these solar farms, needs to be advertised far and wide.
“Their primary purpose is to generate
LIBERAL SELF-RIGHTEOUSNESS.”
That’s right. Liberals have been getting innocent beings killed for decades now.
Wind turbines are killing birds and solar plants are roasting them...
Environut: NOOOO...we must ban wind and solar NOW!!
So how do we generate electricity if wind, solar, coal, gas, and nuclear is off the table? I guess there is still hydroelectric....
Environut: NOOOO....hydroelectric keeps fish from swimming up river!!!
Sigh....
“47 of those birds were killed by solar flux - heat from mirrors at the facility’s ‘power tower’ - while 24 birds were killed by impact trauma.”
You should see the carnage that goes around at wind turbine plants too.
You’d think these environmental wackos want to decimate the bird population. Of course, anyone with a brain (ie, not a liberal) could have predicted this.
47 + 24 = 71
What happened to the other 70? Bird on Bird crime?....................
This is rich. It saddens me and warms my heart in a mysterious conundrum.
Wildlife is being massacred needlessly. That is sad. Liberals are killing them with a wastefull pipe dream program that was suppose to begin the start of the liberal utopian dream. Now their hopes and dreams could be dashed by their own murderous invention that I helped to pay for against my will.
