The lunacy continues. I don't know exactly how many birds wind turbines kill but prosecuting an oil company for 28 birds seems absurd compared to birds struck down by wind energy. As Orwell said "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal......."

The US FWS spent 45 days flying around in helicopters looking for violations, and the 28 birds’ prosecutions involve seven oil companies. It isn’t certain how the birds died or ended up in the pits, there was record snowfall last winter in the region and record snowmelt as well. With over 1000 wells being drilled a year here, and over 5000 producing wells in the State, the record is actually pretty good. But most wells here are on privately held mineral acres, and not Federal Land, and the Obamites have been doing all they can to shut down the one shining economic beacon in the US, creating jobs, no housing collapse, it is here as if there was no recession. And all the FedGov can do is try to stop it.

Sounds like Obamao does not like the prosperity in North Dakota.
