Glass windows kill birds too when they try to fly through them. How exactly did she think solar power could kill birds or be bad?

Well ya see that there sun energy gets so dagnabbed concentrated in those there pannels that the poor li'l baby birds, bein' much smaller and weaker than a big ol' coal minin' macho-man like me, ain't able to withstand all that there sun energy. Coal tho? Coal stays rite thar in non-energy form 'till you wanna use it, allowsin' us to keep the energy levels below bird-killin' amounts.

PV panels, not really, but concentrated solar can and does kill birds. Not nearly as many as coal, though, lol.
