That is horrid!
The left only loves something as long as that "love" furthers the agenda. As soon as something else that furthers the agenda comes along, the "love" evaporates like water in the desert.
As a cat lover, I am more than annoyed by leftist cat haters who blame cats for killing millions of birds every year (an assertion made with little evidence that cats' behavior is outside of the natural predator/prey relationship), but then give a free pass to "environmental" energy schemes that chop up or barbecue birds.
How about we stop these bird killing schemes? How many birds are killed by nuclear, trash incineration, or clean coal?
There are a dozen more links about it. Libs don’t care. “Green energy” trumps bird life.
This is from the Atlantic link:
Researchers found that the bright lights created by the facilities—brighter even than surrounding daylight—attracted insects. At Ivanpah, researchers found “hundreds upon hundreds” of dead butterflies, including already-stressed monarchs, some with singed wings. Birds came to feed on the insects, and bigger birds came to feed on the insect-eaters. When birds flew into the hottest areas, observers saw them emit streams of smoke from their feathers. On-the-ground staff found birds with their flight feathers burned away, some still alive but unable to fly. During their visit to Ivanpah, the report states, USFWS staff saw birds burn in midair “every two minutes.”
If that wasn’t bad enough, birds are dying in a completely different—but equally ugly—manner at other facilities. Researchers found an unusually high number of water birds dead at the Desert Sunlight facility. These birds, including grebes, herons, ducks, and even pelicans, died not from the heat but from blunt force trauma. The cause was clear, as stated in the report: “A desert environment punctuated by a large expanse of reflective, blue panels may be reminiscent of a large body of water.” These birds—tired from flying over the hot desert—home in on what looks like a calm lake but instead crash into hard panels. They either die instantly or, as researchers found, lie helpless for land-based predators. Grebes need to take flight from water, so being marooned on land makes them sitting ducks for predators, should they survive the impact of landing on the panels or desert floor.
