The solar mega plant in middle of Mojave desert that is operating on a new solar focusing technology has proven to be deadly to a large a number of birds. According to the scientists, approximately two birds a minute of 28000 birds a year are killed by the focused solar rays that are are caused by the solar power plant. Birds' feathers are severely damaged by the solar rays from the plant and they fall to the ground. The influence of the solar power plant on the environment could prove disastrous and it is therefore needed to take the necessary measures to prevent the impact of bird population in the area.
Several other power plants that are based on the same principle are in plan for construction and the engineers should solve the existing problem with bird populations.
