There’s a solar farm in California, the Mojave Desert that fries about 6000 birds a year.

Silly birds think its a lake...and get fried trying to land on it,

What spans 1,600 hectares, cost $2.2 billion to build, and potentially fries hundreds of thousands of birds per year?

The new BrightSource solar power plant in California's Mojave Dessert. The plant, which uses some 350,000 garage-door-sized mirrors to focus sunlight on three boiler towers, also acts as a death ray, instantly igniting and killing any wildlife that happen to fly through the intense beam of light. Wildlife officials are concerned that this concentrated solar power plant, and others like it, could turn into “mega-trap” that decimates the ecosystem -- first attracting insects, and then attracting birds that eat insects. BrightSource, in the mean time, is forging ahead with an even larger solar power plant that officials say could kill four times as many birds. Won't somebody stop these not-so-green nature-killing maniacs?

Remember when you first found out that you could quick-fry ants with a magnifying glass?

I guess that it is okay to tear up a huge chunk of pristine desert so California can say it is going green.

That wouldn't be an issue if they were chickens.
