Steve203: You don't think that article is a tiny bit biased?

Just a bit, eh?

Ivanpah Solar was built in an era when developers were investing in all sorts of clean energy projects in an effort to determine what worked and what didn’t. Over a decade ago as wildfires raged, in a years long megadrought when heat waves were intensifying, solar photovoltaic panels and battery energy storage were unaffordable at large scale. Today, that's no longer true and, as a result, Solar Partners offered PG&E the opportunity to terminate the Ivanpah Solar power purchase agreements.

As for the birdies, although Dope1 seemed to get confused over 60,000 or 650,000 dead birds (it's an estimated 60,000), to put that into perspective, over one billion birds die flying into skyscrapers every year in the U.S.

Just sayin'.
