Joyce Coomer commentary on birds and solar power By Joyce Coomer Commentary Two articles about birds being killed around solar farms . . . - Scientific Amerian: Solar Farms threaten birdsThere is another threat to wildlife and the environment that isn't mentioned in either of these articles - poison in the form of herbicides.
