According to AP reporters Ellen Knickmeyer and John Locher, the birds have been nicknamed “streamers” due to plume of smoke that comes from the birds as they ignite in midair after flying through rays at the BrightSource Energy plant.

There is always a trade off for renewable energy sources. We can't keep relying on non-renewable energy forever, so that means trying to minimize the consequences of renewables, but there will always be some.

Jenny, is there no way of minimizing the impact with some kind of deterrent, be it visual and/or auditory?
