This Post Will Most Probably Upset Twitters Reading It,

a twitter is some one who watches birds,

so imagine you are watching a really rare bird flying through the sky, the first of it's kind you have ever seen, making notes about it, as you watch it's progress through the air it starts to leave a thin trail of almost mist behind it, which then turns to smoke as the bird catches fire and falls to the ground, what on earth caused that to happen? worse still as you watch every 2 minuets the same thing happens to other birds,

workers at a state-of-the-art solar plant in the Mojave Desert have a name for birds that fly through the plant’s concentrated sun rays — “streamers,” for the smoke plume that comes from birds that ignite in midair, the solar plant at Ivanpah Lake at dry lake in California is to blame, it is thought that insects attracted by the bright light, then attracts bird to eat them, estimates per year now range from a low of about a thousand by BrightSource (the plants owner) to 28,000 by an expert for the Centre for Biological Diversity environmental group, the deaths are “alarming, it’s hard to say whether that’s the location or the technology,” said Garry George, renewable-energy director for the California chapter of the Audubon Society, 'There needs to be some caution.'

'given the apparent scale of bird deaths at Ivanpah, authorities should thoroughly track bird kills there for a year, including during annual migratory seasons, before granting any more permits for that kind of solar technology', said George, BrightSource is offering $1.8 million in compensation for anticipated bird deaths at Palen, it's new plant on the drawing board, I thought at first for the families of the birds, but the company is proposing the money for programs such as those to spay and neuter domestic cats, which a government study found kill over 1.4 billion birds a year, opponents say that would do nothing to help the desert birds at the proposed site, so is this a case for going nuclear?
