Solar plants add glare to Pilots

Based on reports from pilots flying over the Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System , glare from the plant's massive heliostat mirror array has obstructed the vision of some pilots, presenting a potential hazard for aircrafts flying overhead.
Solar plants are super helpful in adding renewable energy to society, I hope they do something about the glare for the sake of airline safety. [ link ]
