In other news, Al Gore is still stuck in his lock-box, in an Aspen snow drift.

They’re not snail darters (nonnative, but good for blocking development) or deadly predators. So it’s OK.

Biologists say 130 birds have caught fire in mid-air while entering an area of concentrated solar energy created by the 110-megawatt Crescent Dunes Solar Energy Project (pictured) near Tonopah, Nevada

To: thackney
streamers birds that catch fire and leave a trail of smoke in the air
Bummer. That smoke probably reduces efficiency.

I wish the ScYfi channel would make one of those lame movies about storms/space weather/rock monsters, etc that has an opening scene of a solar farm igniting birds mid flight.
Not sure how the rest of the film would go, but can't write the whole thing for them. Would be 10/10 opening scene.

OK...a little clumsy, but I guess that comes with the territory.
Seems like a little spot of global warming, too. But that's OK as long as algore can make a buck with it.
