    regarding your edit: I think You’re being downvoted for repeating talking points addressed in the article itself. Also, it’s … ignorant. If large solar farms routinely fried birds, why do almost all countries routinely build solar farms? Why do particularly German households continue to deck out their roofs and railings with solar modules? How exactly even would a solar module fry a bird, seeing as how it’s surface is made from glass - you know, like a window.

    The bird frying thing is a exception to concentrated solar power arrays , which was the name suggests concentrate solar rays in order to heat up a buffer medium to several thousand degrees.

      Seriously, calling me ignorant when I’m literally asking questions. When I’m genuinely curious if this would cause a similar issue.

      So fucking sick of how toxic this platform is. No leeway to have an actual discussion or curiosity. Always people looking for a fight and acting superior.

        I don’t know man, you say you want to learn but you act really offended when things are pointed out to you.

        Please forgive my choice of words, English is not my first language. What word would you use to describe someone who raises a point commonly used as a scare tactic that was also addressed in the submitted article and is literally a two second Google search away from being explained?

            alright, I’m done here. You want to be offended, that’s your prerogative. Just know that there’s a difference between calling someone and something they say ignorant.
