“The $2.2 Billion Bird-Scorching Solar Project”

Thanks! The article does indeed talk about roasting birds on the wing. And it states that this is the first of its kind, which is obviously untrue.

“The $2.2 Billion Bird-Scorching Solar Project”

It doesn't seem like the best way to fight global warming, does it? You essentially have a five-square-mile outdoor oven creating temps as high as 1,000 degrees. Yeah, let's build 10,000 more of those. So far, "green" energy has the following track record:

1. Killing hundreds of thousands of birds, including endangered species.

2. Emitting excessive heat into the atmosphere.

3. Doubling energy prices.

4. Visual blight in areas that would otherwise be considered off-limits to development.

5. Bankruptcies and shutdowns despite huge taxpayer subsidies.
