Solar farm sets 130 birds on FIRE: ...power plant ignites creatures mid-air during tests

Adding to your post - every one of these turbines is connected by underground cabling and gravel roads. Quite a ‘footprint’ when viewed from above (Google Earth).

It absolutely blows my mind to think of all the copper cabling, carbon fiber blades, lighted towers, and quarried rock that goes into such a small energy source...and anyone would call it ‘green’.

And they won’t last 20 years. I’ve seen broken turbines left to rot already - early test cases put up in Kansas. Very few machines can be left out in the weather for too long, without something going wrong.

Any of them a pheasant or a duck?

Crispy duck is one of my favorites.

I think they should call the flaming birds... “Smokey”...like in the movie Smokey and the Bandit

The star of that movie was a “Black Firebird” after all and Smokey was hot on his ass

Between this and windmills it’s clear: enviros have a War on Birds.

Those are panels, not mirrors.

Always think that someone is making lots of money and some politicians are sharing in the proceeds.

[RinaseaofDs]

Now THIS would be a funny SNL skit.

Funny....that’s one of the first things the pro-wind Greenies say on the topic of bird kills.

[GOYAKLA]

Is there any legitimate reasoning for such a maneuver?
What scientific hypothesis is questioned?
How long does it take to relocate 10,00 mirrors?

I really do love your answer to death penalty!

They are building them on the Osage.....

Nobody can stop them..when the Fed's are funding them.

[digger48]

This is what they look like in populated areas like Indiana. 500' tall spinning monuments to Gaia a mere 1200 feet from your doorstep

Panels.....

No birds getting streamered

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Lefties only care about the environment as an extortion tool.

[Popman]

Imagine the conundrum an animal rights wacko would have to deal with if a protected species of bird gets toasted...

"birds that catch fire and leave a trail of smoke in the air -when entering the field of solar energy."

I know this will sound rather sick, but is there any video of this?

[snooter55]

DOH !!

Great minds . . . but I don't call it sick. I could find no actual "streamers" on YouTube, just people talking about it. (Intentional omission?)

It's too bad some enterprising conservative couldn't get some video of these poor birds, circulate it among the Greenies, and watch their heads explode.
