Solar farm sets 130 birds on FIRE

Extreme glow of power plant ignites creatures mid-air during tests

More than 100 birds have been injured during testing of a new solar power farm.

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.

Experts believe the birds may have been attracted by the glow of the farm’s tower, but the project’s owners, SolarReserve, say they have found a way to reduce the fatalities.

    Windmills chop up more birds than these things kill. Difference is, these come down ready- to- eat!

    Sad story I hope they figure out how to not just reduce but eliminate the killing of wildlife.
