Gotta share this one.
All politics aside...cause we don't do that here:):)
Aug 23 2014 North Coast newspaper article = "Many thousands of birds are said to have caught fire in midair above a massive solar-thermal power plant near the California-Nevada border since it began operating in February. Workers at the Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System call the dying birds "Streamers" because of the trail of smoke they leave behind after igniting. Federal investigators say they counted an average of one bird catching fire every two minutes during their survey. The 2.2 Billion" (thats right Billion) "plant consists of three towers surrounded by an array of more than 300,000 mirrors, which some pilots say nearly blinded them as they flew past. The California chapter of the Audubon Society calls the deaths "alarming". Federal wildlife officials call the plant a "mega-trap" because its bright lights attract insect eating birds that get lured to a fiery death"... Plant operators say they are looking for ways to frighten the birds away or re-direct them from the plants glaring danger."
Love it...the lefties (solar power and Audubon) dukin it out!!They can't get along w/ each other, let alone the rest of us!!
