GOHMERT: In another part of that Green Deal is the huge solar farm that they have out on the border of California and Nevada, thousands of acres of concave mirrors that magnify the sun toward three towers, heat up the liquid in there and turn turbines.

This can only be the Ivanpah Solar Power Facility at Clark Mountain California. It is not part of any “Green Deal.” It opened in 2014 after more than 20 years of planning and construction. It does use mirrors, and birds do get fried when they get in the concentrated beams. The poor critters are called “streamers” rather than “flamers.” There may be a few thousand of them a year.

This system, using mirrors to focus sunlight on a boiler, is called Concentrated Solar Power (CSP). MOST SOLAR POWERPLANTS DO NOT OPERATE ON THIS PRINCIPLE.

In 2017, CSP represented less than 2% of worldwide installed capacity of solar electricity plants

The rest use the photovoltaic system with the familiar solar cells.
Additionally, growth has been slow in CSP in contrast to explosive growth in photovoltaic systems (a result of reduced costs).

Addendum: I wonder how many birds are killed by collisions with tankers and coal trains every year?
