It is estimated that a bird is literally incinerated every two minutes during daylight hours at a solar farm in the Mojave desert. As these unfortunate creatures fly across the concentrated rays of this "environmentally sensitive" way to generate green electricity, they become a heap of airborne ashes almost instantiounsly. The workers at this government funded project jokingly call them "streamers" ... see:
NBC News Story for all the gory details. I have also written about this bird killer before ... see:
The Birds
I guess hydroelectric dams kill salmon and now solar farms kill all kinds of birds ... the price of progress.
