Drive by this site when it’s operating. The intensity of the light is overwhelming. Not only would birds get evaporated, but I imagine the insect loss is massive.

Reminds me of the song, “Happy Birthday” by Weird Al.

It doesn’t take a military genius to see
We’ll all be crispy critters after World War III
There’s nowhere you can run to, nowhere you can hide
When they drop the big one, we all get fried

(Come on boys and girls, sing along, ok?)

Change it to:
(from the birds’ perspective)

It doesn’t take a eco-nut genius to see
We’ll all be crispy critters after Crescent Duneys
There’s nowhere you can fly to, nowhere you can hide
When they start the big one, we all get fried!

(Come on lil’ fledglings, sing along, ok?)

The average walking around citizen will be imprisoned if he even so much as holds a Bald Eagle feather, but Solar farms can cook the National Bird.

Politicians can’t get rich from bribes to allow soaking beaches with oil. But they can get rich with bribes to construct solar systems with money stolen by taxes , so there never will be an outcry will there.

This is happening at every solar generating facility in the western deserts which use this particular technology in which thousands of solar panel mirrors capture the sun’s heat energy and aim it at huge elevated water tanks where the heat turns the water into steam to drive generating turbines.

Here in California, these solar generating farms are located in areas of bird migration. The birds mistake the mirrors for lakes. As they fly into the mirrored areas, the heat burns their feathers off.

The developers had to know this would happen. There is no solution. It is similar to what is happening with the wind turbines such as the hundreds of them located in the San Gorgonio Pass which leads into the Coachella Valley (Palm Springs area). Birds flying through that pass are being turned into chopped liver by the huge fan blades.

Lastly, wind turbine generated electricity costs more than natural gas and coal fired generating plants. Our utilities are required by state regulation to purchase this more expensive power, and the utility ratepayers are paying for it.

As for those mirror solar panels, one plant just built here in CA is not even close to meeting the electricity levels it was projected to generate. Lots of excuses such as more cloudy days than anticipated and the funniest of all excuse that the con trails from passenger jets is cutting down the sun’s rays. These plants are just one more government boondoggle. In a few years, we will read about how they are going bankrupt and unable to pay off their bonded indebtedness.

Everyone involved in this fiasco needs to be hoisted on their own petard.
