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.

A little too rare for my tastes. And barbecue sauce helps everything....

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.

The Birds are plotting their revenge.

Environut: We must get rid of this EVIL coal, gas and nuclear energy, BUILD WIND and SOLAR!!!

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....

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.

Maybe this is what is killing off the bees also.

The least they could do is name the solar facility after Randy Johnson:

How do they handle this in Germany? I read recently that somewhere between 25 and 30% of their power was from a combination of solar and wind.

Maybe the answer is that they are using flat solar panels, and the concentrated mirror/tower technology is unique to the U. S., but that’s speculation on my part. Of course, Germany still has windmills—but a lot of them are offshore, where the only birds that will run into them are seagulls.

Wait for the book, Sizzlin’ Spring...

[pleasenotcalifornia]

I prefer the taste of chopped bat from windmills.

[JimRed]

How costly would it be to surround the solar “farms” with some kind of bird-scaring noisemakers to prevent their flying into the death zone?

[pallis]

It’s going to be a silent spring with no chirp, chirp chirping the little birds bring.

[showme_the_Glory]

Need to harness that spontaneous energy, I mean combustion.

Imagine any major construction project where its environmental impact statement said thousands of birds would be killed if it were built. Environmentalists would demand it be stopped, protests of every kind would be organized and the law suits would block construction. However, this solar plant, not to mention the thousands of ugly windmills that become bird blenders, are allowed to be built without so much as a peep from environmentalists. The much vilified Keystone Pipeline in comparison would have an insignificant impact on wildlife.
