Well according to wikipedia the safety of this is iffy. It's not impossible to make it safe but it's definitely not without risks to human and animal life either.

Skill issue. Don't stand on the big X they target the space Lazer at. It isn't like smog where it gets everywhere

True, it's almost certainly gonna cook some birds tho, but then again wind farms also smoke birds regularly.

That is literally oil company propaganda. Cause it could never kill as many birds as oil fumes though. You arent wrong, just the vibes are off.
