This would cause a circle of death above the power plant. Nothing could fly there (birds, planes, etc.) without getting chopped to pieces by extremely high speed wires flying about.
People keep expressing this basic sentiment but why compare only to windfarms?
What about the cone of heat and smoke (plus or minus scrubbers) above a coal or gas fired power plant? No place for a bird, and even planes wouldn't want to get too close depending on exact conditions.
I'll guess nuclear power plant cooling towers have similar characteristics and I'm not entirely sure what a bird flying over a vast field of solar arrays (does the air above get very hot? are sources of food and water out of reach?) would experience.

I've always longed for the perfect alarm clock, but I've never been able to find one. I'll admit that I haven't bought a lot of them, but I've seen enough to know what I like, and what I don't like. One problem with finding the perfect alarm clock is that the true features aren't explained well enough on the product packaging, so I don't want to buy it unless I know it has the right features.
