Comment on Mojave Desert solar plant kills 6,000 birds a yearparent

Comments

Let's put scale into perspective here. One plant = 6000. millions of buildings = millions of birds.

I don't know what to think.

Some more scale: One 390MW plant = 300 thousand households

If your average bird-killing building uses less power than about 500 households, the power plant is still coming out ahead.
