Birds fly into Ivanpah Solar plant's perimeter and begin trailing smoke until they ignite

About one per per every one or two minutes.  Must be quite a sight.  Gee, I wonder if 'environmentally responsible', 'green', 'renewable' technologies could get any more destructive.  It almost seems like the Enviro faithful don't actually care about the environment so much as they care about their Earth God.  Primitive pagan religion is no way to set Environmental policy.  Rubes. But dangerous ones.

Burn Birdies Burn!

IVANPAH DRY LAKE (AP) >> Workers at a state-of-the-art solar plant in the Mojave Desert have a name for birds that fly through the plant’s concentrated sun rays — “streamers,” for the smoke plume that comes from birds that ignite in midair.

Federal wildlife investigators who visited the BrightSource Energy plant last year and watched as birds burned and fell, reporting an average of one “streamer” every two minutes, are urging California officials to halt the operator’s application to build a still-bigger version.
