     Not being content to slaughter birds<\/a> in California with taxpayer subsidized death rays<\/a>, a new experimental device, which harnesses energy from the sun’s atomic fusion in the form of photons, has been tested in Tonopah, Nevada.<\/p>\n

     It’s test run has apparently been a success; 130 birds were killed by concentrated solar radiation, some outright bursting into flames<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

“[A]bout two hours into the test, engineers and biologists on site started noticing ‘streamers’ – trails of smoke and steam caused by birds flying directly into the field of solar radiation. What moisture was on them instantly vaporized, and some instantly burst into flames – at least, until they began to frantically flap away. An estimated 130 birds were injured or killed during the test.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

     Despite cries that most of the bursts of flame<\/a> were due to insect, trash, or, presumably, skyfish, “federal wildlife officials have begun calling these ‘eco-friendly’ power towers ‘mega traps’ for wildlife.”<\/p>\n
