But if one bird got killed during drilling an oil well the MSM would be all over it. Shame! Shame!
I demand EQUALITY for all animals, not just FISH! BIRDS ARE PEOPLE TOO!!!!!!!!!!
How does the old song go - ‘Old King Cole was a merry old soul, a merry old soul was he”???
Something about blackbirds baked in a pie! Looking at the pie-shaped solar energizer it is appropriate.
Is there anyway to fry liberals with it?
I have a solar panel on our Airstream trailer..... cool, another way to fry stuff.
Cue the “Mars Attacks!” pictures
During an oil spill, MSM blasts away with oily seagull and pigeon photos. Then there are the photos of the volunteers bathing each bird, drying them and releasing to the wild.
Then the interview with wildlife experts.
However, for bird deaths at solar plants: silence.
Who are they kidding? The problem has not been “fixed” as it exists at every solar power project that uses mirrors. Every one of these projects in the California deserts are killing thousands of migrating birds.
The birds mistake the mirrors for bodies of water and fly towards them. The mirrors are designed to reflect the heat from the sun’s rays towards elevated giant water tanks which turn the water into steam to drive turbines which generate electricity.
It is that reflected solar heat which hits the birds, burning their feathers off.
Here in the low and high deserts of Southern California we have several such solar panels. Plus, in the San Gorgonio Pass which leads into the Coachella Valley (Palm Springs area), we have hundreds of wind turbines which also are a death trap for birds flying through that pass.
Oh, by the way, the electricity generated by those wind turbines, which have received taxpayer subsidies, that electricity costs more to generate than electricity from natural gas and coal generating stations. The State of California requires local utilities to purchase that electricity at higher prices which are then passed on to customers in the form of higher rates.
There was no fix done.
They repositioned some of the mirrors to reduce the extreme heat. That will lower the efficiency of the plant, tempting management to point the mirrors back at the tower to generate more power & resume the bird kills. This will happen just as soon as the bird lovers, reporters, & safety inspectors are gone.
This is a monumental boondoggle. No doubt Obama & Co. have again wasted the American taxpayers money, even as the developers, cronies of Obama, live the rich life on taxpayer loans & grants.
They have inadvertently done the same thing with some of these all-glass skyscrapers they build. There was one where the reflected light was hitting cars in a parking lot and melting all the plastic inside and outside of the cars.
The road to hell is paved in good intentions. Unfortunately, the climate change chicken littles are emboding a big fat lie. They will do anything for a buck.
