Green energy = dead birds

08-20-2014, 08:42 AM

Vendzilla was right! Hundreds of thousands of birds (potentially) a year from one plant, holy crap. That's a lot of California Fried Crow.

What spans 1,600 hectares, cost $2.2 billion to build, and potentially fries hundreds of thousands of birds per year? The new BrightSource solar power plant in California?s Mojave Dessert.

Wow that's insane... those poor birds!

I wonder what could be done from an engineering point of view. Some kind of cover above the focal point protecting birds that may fly over it? Or maybe some kind of ultrasonic noise maker that scares birds away?

Apparently not very "green" energy. That definition doesn't cover every shit.

So how many birds-per-mile does your Volt get?

From engineering point of view: not to build huge boilers outdoors. Everything fries in there, the birds are just the tip of a iceberg.

Yeah, in China they declared war against sparrows. Result = famine or two. Clueless bastards didn't really get the concept of ecosystem.

This is just propaganda to get support for the testing of the first experimental plasma shields.

"We will be implementing an experimental plasma shield in an effort to save the birds" a future headline will read no doubt

"Back in January, it was estimated that — in the US alone — between 365 million and 988 million birds are killed every year by crashing into windows. We’re mostly talking about domestic, low-rise windows, too — not skyscrapers. Likewise, a study last year showed that domestic cats — yes, your beloved Fluffy — are killing more than a billion birds per year in the US."

Kinda like with those dumb bastards spill coal ash in the river ways, or oil tankers spill millions of gallons into the oceans...

Maybe they could add a few wind turbines, then they'd be chopped, cooked and ready to eat.

Fairly simple solution though, just put up some nets at the heights where the solar power is focused, I doubt you'd lose that much efficiency and the birds would be fine to land on the nets, as long as they were above the concentrated ray areas.

They built the plants on a plain right in the middle of the birds migratory path to a lake, and they want to build an even bigger plant, on the same migratory path. This could be a big problem.

Killing a few birds who gives a fuck but frying all the birds on their migratory path to water, through the desert, means those species are fucked
