    Experts believe the birds may have been attracted by the glow of the farm’s tower, but the project’s owners, SolarReserve, say they have found a way to reduce the fatalities.

    I thought they disproved the story of Archimedes using the sun and mirrors as a weapon on Myth Busters.

    Myth Busters has now been proven wrong.
