[1] That's one bird every 1,635 minutes [2]. Ellen Knickmeyer and John Locher were only exaggerating by 1229%! You need to cut this crap out, Gary. You're HURTING environmentalism by perpetuating blatant lies.

Such a claim from supposed "federal wildlife investigators" exists only in the imagination of Ellen Knickmeyer and John Locher, the petulant children responsible for this gravely misleading Associated Press attack piece [1].<br /><br />There aren't two sides to this issue. The AP article is dead wrong. You need to acknowledge this fact, or take this post down.<br /><br />1. http://bigstory.ap.org/article/emerging-solar-plants-scorch-birds-mid-air@PhysicsPolicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04664172982768472896noreply@blogger.com
