What a life for birds.  Some make it through the wind farms untouched only to get cooked at the solar farm.  Yep, your right, technology is hard on birds.

"Streamers", I have to admit that is funny, at least the workers there have a sense of humor.  I suppose that is what you call dark humor in the bright light.

I'm sure everyone associated with the project is shocked and surprised that this is happening. Nobody could have seen that coming. And,since they are appalled,they will apply to get a permit for a bigger one. Crazy has become normal.

You have sun power for it to work.

We have sun most days when it is not raining.....none at night.

Can they teach the birds not to fly in the daytime?

I love the fact that this power plant is based on the same principal as the Archimedes Death Ray that Mythbusters completely failed to recreate.  It's nice to see that it really could start some fires.  ;D
