It can’t be any worse than the thousands of birds killed by windmills every year.
All this green energy crap is just that, a liberal inspired atrocity.

Ivanpah....can't supply the energy it contracted/promised to.
Ivanpah...was only conceived with Federal monies...( Your money , my money...)
Ivanpah used dated technology..that's a fact.
The Ivanpah site will be eventually be abandoned...Just like Solyndra...was.
It's just a pay to play game...here and abroad...by our "leaders".
And our "leaders" ain't using their money....
It's a rigged game....They use our tax monies to give away to what they want...either votes...or money. Plain and simple.

Put in a backyard fish pond.
My Koi and Comets wait below the surface for the females to hover and lay their eggs.
*Snap!*
And the larvae are delicacies for them.
Bat houses are effective, too.

"The analysis, published Tuesday in the journal Nature Communications, suggests that feral and owned cats pose a far greater threat than previously thought. One study in 2011 estimated that cats in the United States kill roughly half a billion birds annually.That's for the entire United States. Meanwhile the solar panels are in one tiny area of a large State and it fries how many birds?
I rather a bird be killed by a cat than a solar panel. The cat gets exercise and catches a meal. I have also found that more birds (on my property) die during a severe thunderstorm and high winds than killed by my cat.

What it comes from is that environmentalists aren’t speaking out against “green” energy projects. Some groups have favored eagle-killing windmills as good for the environment!

If somebody like you or I killed a bird on the protected species list, like a Golden Eagle, we would get a big fine and a year in prison.Or an oil company, though they just pay big fines. Wind farms have killed hundreds of golden eagles. No harm, no foul. Laws don't apply to wind farms.

Got to wonder how many birds all the wind farms are taking out each year too. You'll see estimates from 300,000 to almost a million a year. No one counts them, so who knows.

Eliminate the subsidy for Ivanpah.... the fatalities will plunge after the outfit goes bankrupt.... Too late.

A worthless monstrosity , a paen to the liberal god Gaia, and to boot, it does't work. In what way does it not work?
To: SJackson
Didn’t this project have to undergo an environmental impact study? Huge developments have been stopped least a single threatened bat, rat, snake infect fish or plant be harmed. Where were the endless lawsuits from environmental groups that have stopped oil refineries, dams and generating plants when these facilities were being proposed? Imagine the reaction to this plant if it were not a darling of the environmentalist whackos. Note the forests of windmills that blight the landscape similarly kill thousands of birds and no environmentalist whackos shed a single tear.

From a 2009 press release by Center For Biological Diversity:
"Simply put, this project is proposed in the wrong place, said Ileene Anderson, biologist with the Center for Biological Diversity. There are tens of thousands of acres of already-disturbed lands in the California desert that are much closer to cities and towns that would make far more sense for this kind of project.
To: SJackson
Reading the article it actually killed over six thousand.

The discussion over solar has been to go with distributed solar rather than industrial scale solar. Where industrial scale solar is to be built, it should be built on already fallow lands, such as abandoned alfalfa farms. And it should be located near existing transmission lines, not where new lines need to be built.
I can't imagine given the problems with Ivanpah that anyone thinks it is a good design anywhere.
