Currently there is no solution??
How about closing it down?
I thought Griff would have been through to tell us bad oil people are throwing the birds into the beams or something because renewable energy never has a problem.
Notice no PETA mouthings.
The biggest disaster with these thermal solar power plants has been their dreadful performance far below estimates of power that could be generated. Last I heard, solar thermal technology is DOA. No more funding for additional plants. It’s not as though the designers didn’t realize that birds will fly thru those intensely hot rays. Thermal solar technology has been a scam.
Went Dove hunting in Argentina a few years ago, killing hundreds of the critters. The hunt organizers assured all of us hunters that the dead birds were gathered up each day and given to the poor to eat, so our profligacy was actually helping people.
Found out the reality was that they simply bulldozed the dead birds into pits after we had been bused off to dinner back at the lodge.
Perhaps these “streamers” could be used to feed the poor … 😉
The GND (Gray New Deal), especially the artificial Green Blight, is unfriendly to the environment, flora, fauna, and people, too.
Current death toll, 100,000/yr. Post Green New Deal death toll would up that by a factor of 100, at least (my SWAG).
Gives a new meaning to the “watermelon” label. The commie red will mingle with the blood of the wildlife.
Why not purposely construct these solar farms on perfect concavities, so that each farm’s focal point of collective sunlight would create a REAL death ray capable of melting steel?
Besides providing intermittent power, these could, then, serve as performance-art projects that symbolize Earth’s being ravaged by death rays from CO2, … where each bird, instantaneously fried at the focus, would be a visual reminder of how evil fossil fuel has become.
This way, we could get further funding from the National Endowment for the Arts.
I know, … it’s simply brilliant!
Think of the message this would send to … “climate deniers”.
Every time I read comments on this site, the same people are here, with a few new one’s now and then. It’s like a peer review board arguing over the latest paper submitted for publication.
These solar mirrors are not much different than what cause an “island effect” with more intense heat than the usual building materials for coties and all the vehicles that contribute to it. The reflection of the Solar Radiation off the parabolic arrangement of the mirrors to a concentrated point, to super heat at that point the reflected Solar Radiation. Anything within that area between point A and point B becomes the point B of the reflected Solar Radiation. The air itself having water in it is heated above the boiling point into steam. Other gases are heated according to their properties. Yet, these projects concept is to reduce Global Warming? While the heat is to create water into steam that turns turbines that generate electricity, and that steam is released back into the atmosphere as our greatest Greenhouse Gas…
When are people going to understand that it is not the CO2 from Fossil Fuels that is the problem. It is that we are multiplying the amount of atmospheric water that the Solar Radiation reacts with. Which is many times the effects of CO2. It really doesn’t matter if you’re using Fossil Fuels or Solar Radiation to make steam when the result is the same thing.
