Eagles. I guess we;ll have to deep freeze some eggs and go on with our crazieness of building these giant windmills that cost way more than they can ever provide. Time they figure in how much it costs to produce the machine, the data so they say is that it can NEVER produce the BTUs that it took to make it. Sounds REAL smart. I wonder what Elon Musk would do about this.

You want to build a factory that will employ hundreds of people but may kill a few newts?…..Nope. The environment is too important.

You want to build worthless windmills that will only suck government grants but will kill dozens of eagles?….that’s fine

You want to raise cows to produce meat for people to eat?….No way! That’s bad for the environment!

You want to build data centers that consume gigawatts of power to spy on us? ….That’s fine.

Musk can stop this by simply publicly announcing his support for windmills. LOL

AFAIAC, EVERY wind turbine in America should be stopped and dismantled!

AND, the companies that erected them should pay to knockem down!

Where’s the Sierra Club and all the other environmental groups to file injunctions to stop the construction of the KILLERS of the threatened species?

You want to cut timber in an area where the Northern Spotted Owl has nests, NOPE. Don’t even think about it. Even though there is no proof that the owl only nests in certain types of timber

You want to build a windmill that is PROVEN to KILL an Endangered Species, Oh well, that is just fine. Proceed

>>>that erected them should pay to knock them down!

And the house size foundations of the turbines, should they be left in place?

And PETA and other animals rights organizations remain silent.

Just as the Sierra Club is silent about the destruction of fragile desert areas near the California border by illegal immigrants who throw trash everywhere, trample delicate fauna and use the area as a toilet.

I frequently drove Highway 23 in Minnesota and near the town of Holland where the beautiful prairie is blighted by a veritable forest of windmills that literally stretches from horizon to horizon. While on many occasions I saw everyone of these monstrosities sitting idle, I am certain at times they are gigantic bird blenders.

Just think how many Kangaroo rats were saved by not clearing out California brush fire hazards over the years!! Bald Eagles are not as important.

How do these turbines kill eagles and other flying things?

Are the eagles learning or evolving to avoid the turbines?

Does the death of an eagle create better conditions for other eagles?
