Will the cause of bird deaths on US solar farms be discovered by the end of 2021?

Market Rules

The mysterious mass deaths of birds, whose carcasses are being found near solar power farms in the United States, are intriguing researchers.

One of the main hypothesis to explain the deaths is the notion that the glow emitted by the solar plates can cause the birds to confuse them with lakes. Therefore, when they dive into the false lake, they end up fatally colliding with the plates. The hypothesis, however, has not yet been confirmed, and that is why researchers at the Argonne National Laboratory (USA) are developing artificial intelligence to analyze the behavior of birds across the country. With the results in hand, they hope to be able to understand the cause of these deaths.

If, by the end of 2021, a scientific study is published explaining the cause of bird deaths near solar farms in the United States - and the conclusions of such study are deemed plausible by the scientific community - this market will be resolved as "Yes".
