It is amazing how many stories are out here, about Solar Power killing thousands upon thousands of birds.
I thought this had to be an old story but it is not, the latest and greatest advances in Solar Technology results in the latest and greatest destruction to the environment.
Decide for yourself.
Solar farm sets 130 birds on FIRE mid-air during tests Daily Mail Online
Consider this, this one plant is producing 110 mwh, yet what is proposed more than 1000 GWH!
At the magnitude proposed to be built, Solar will kill millions of birds.
To save the Earth we must kill all the birds?

Solar farm sets 130 birds on FIRE mid-air during tests Daily Mail Online
In a test, one third of the project’s 10,000 mirrors were moved to focus sunlight at a point 1,200 feet above ground level – at approximately twice the height of its tower.
It took biologists just an hour and a half to notice the first of the ‘streamers’ – birds that catch fire and leave a trail of smoke in the air -when entering the field of solar energy.
Biologists say 130 birds caught fire mid-air while entering an area of concentrated solar energy created by the 110-megawatt Crescent Dunes Solar Energy Project near Tonopah, Nevada.
