'Solar panels' usually refers to photovoltaic solar arrays. The example you cite is of a solar thermal array. There aren't many of them because they require a very large footprint and use mirrors to concentrate sunlight on a tower. Birds get burned by the intensity of sunlight reflected by the mirrors towards a central focus.

From the article you linked:

"Unlike typical solar farms that use photovoltaic panels on a large scale, the site at Ivanpah is built on entirely different principles. To catch sunlight, the plant uses 5 square miles (12.9 square kilometres) of giant mirrors that focus beams of concentrated sunlight onto three different 40-storey-tall towers."

Cost of living crisis: Britons cannot expect pay rises to keep up with inflation, Treasury warns

Britons cannot expect pay rises to keep up with the soaring cost of living, the government has warned.

Treasury Chief Secretary Simon Clarke has said matching salaries to inflation risked causing prices in the shops to surge even higher.

His intervention comes as more than 40,000 staff prepare for a three-day strike that will cripple large swathes of the UK's train network.

The RMT union has said it is "unacceptable for railway workers to either lose their jobs or face another year of a pay freeze" when inflation is at a 40-year high.

And in other developments, tens of thousands of people are expected to march on Saturday - calling on the government to do more to tackle the cost-of-living crisis.

The protest has been organised by the TUC union, which claims workers have lost almost £20,000 since 2008 because pay has not kept up with inflation.
