Crescent Dunes Solar Energy Project array is nearly ready to go
partially online in Nevada. The $737 Million publicly Department Of Energy funded project is intended to produce 110 MW of energy. There’s just one problem.
130 birds were literally set on fire in mid
flight during a recent test run in the span of 2 hours. This is because
the array redirects solar energy to a point 1200 feet above ground,
right in the flightpath of birds.
Nature World News reports:
“About two hours into the test, engineers and
biologists on site started noticing “streamers” – trails of smoke and
steam caused by birds flying directly into the field of solar radiation.
What moisture was on them instantly vaporized, and some instantly burst
into flames – at least, until they began to frantically flap away. An
estimated 130 birds were injured or killed during the test.”
“According to The Associated Press (AP), many
biologists call the number of deaths “significant” and suspect that the
streamers are caused by a chain of attraction – that is, insects are
drawn towards the bright plant’s light, which in turn attracts birds
looking to feast on crispy bugs.”
