Another dumbass environmentalist idea “gone bad”.

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

[Don Corleone]

Report is that they tasted like chicken.

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

“extreme glow” “lights on fire”

this is otherwise known as a omnidirectional laser

[cuban leaf]

Worlds biggest bug zapper.

I’ll bet the flying insect population is down too.

[MeshugeMikey]

brilliance personified!

sadly none of these birds were ENDANGERED species or the greenie enviros would already have dismantled the “farm” with pitchforks..

‘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.

” birds that catch fire and leave a trail of smoke in the air”

Well Duh!

#GreenEnergyKills

[Mr. K]

oops!

Is there any youtube video of this? This is almost as funny as them training rats to check for mines in a minefield- I suggested they put a number on each rat and take bets!

I’d watch that.

[VanDeKoik]

Air drop some chickens over this thing and I’ll wait below with a bucket and side dishes.

[Still Thinking]

Well, I guess the staff doesn’t have to order in for lunch!

[GOPJ]

AND it costs more energy to maintain and install these silly installations than we get out of them.

Typical liberal ‘Gruber’ intelligence... all fluff and attitude - zero substance.

[Beagle8U]

They need windmills next to the solar farms, they way they could chop and cook the birds in one step.

[Cyclone59]

Wouldn’t that type of temperatures be the cause “man-made cause of global warming”?

[Texas Eagle]

Ruh-roh. If memory serves, one of the 72 groups designated as "Extremists" at Preezy Obola's li'l jaw-fest last week is those "That harm or exploit animals".

[minnesota_bound]

How do they keep the mirrors clean out in the desert?
30,000 birds killed every year (probably more) x the number of birds that would have been born to them equals millions of birds being killed off for a power plant that does not work at night.
