Ha! Also made me think of Icarus
What did they think? They couldn’t see this coming? it is the most obvious thing imaginable. And windmills chop birds in pieces.
What is this? the left hates birds?
(no. birds are being sacrificed on the altar of political correctness)
We need right wing lawyers to shut down this ENTIRE travesty for the good of the birds. The left does it for snail darters, the yellow bellied bumblebee and the redheaded pterodactyl (or whatever).
Precooked sqab....
Toasted sky rat in the skies....
“Every energy source is Murder” soon to be the rally cry of environmentalist wack jobs....
I guess we should all just kill ourselves to make the green nazi’s happy...
How about Poof Power!
No Pooftahs.
I’ve heard the British use both “poofter” and “poof” to refer to gays.
Hopefully somebody gets to eat crow.
Remember how the Left went apoplectic over ANWR because the Caribou would have to migrate a little?
If I were a Republican I would have an ad up showing these fried birds and ask their opponent what side they were on, the birds or Solyndra? Then remind the voters that their opponents side lent AND LOST a nearly $600 million dollar loan to fund the BIRD KILLERS.
We need to start to throw the language right back in their faces!
Look at your liberal acquaintances and freak them out by calling BIRD MURDERERS.
“Someone needs to check their math. There are about 525,000 minutes in a year, so a death every two minutes would be more than 262,000 a year, not 28,000. “
But the sun only shines during the day.
“All told, the facility at Ivanpah generates enough electricity to power 140,000 homes...”
So long as those homes only use electricity during the bright, sun-shiney hours of the day.
Sorta.
It's the typical cognitive dissonance we see every day coming from the Left.
They say we need these inefficient energy boondoggles to "save the planet," yet these inefficient energy boondoggles end up annihilating the planet's wildlife.
To this, they just shrug.
Their hypocrisy baffles the mind.
We have to build the solar farms, because The Models predict that if we don’t convert to solar energy, the globe will overheat in 100 years. We should even do this notwithstanding the fact that The Models didn’t predict that when birds fly though megawatt solar energy beams, they will get singed. Not in 100 years, but in a small fraction of a second. Still, we have to trust The Models, and their incontrovertible Predictions. Because who are we to say the models make errors in their predictions? Such blasphemy is for the birds.
Perhap this: "So far, the only remedy appears to be cash. BrightSource has anted up $1.8 million to compensate for bird deaths." . . . to who(m)? The birds' relatives?
1.8 million seems a good price when these companies are getting billions in direct subsidies in a state that forces consumers to buy this extremely expensive energy. And great planning there. Steam boilers in the dryest place on US soil where people are fined for watering their lawns.
Reminds me of a film from my psych 1 class.
A baby (toddler?) is sitting up watching a toy train go down an incline, through a tunnel and out the other side, and it's repeated some number of times, the kid following the train.
Then the tunnel is blocked, stopping the train from going through to the other side.
During that next run, the kid dutifully follows the train to the other side, but since there's no train, the head snaps back to the tunnel exit.
Liberals somehow lose the ability to notice when something has gone awry.
