Why should wind farms be allowed to kill 4,200 eagles when oil companies are prosecuted for killing a handful. Individuals or small companies for killing one. Let them pay the fines, it's a cost of business
But of course the eagles can die ... as long as they die “green-approved” deaths.
Like thousands being beat by wind turbine blades and turbulence!
Of hundreds fried by solar heat farms in the Mojave and CA high deserts each week.
Or thousands poisoned by the solar panel and high metal waste ponds in China and overseas ..
But Obola’s dictatorship WILL fine an oil company $150,000.00 per bird if THREE birds get trapped in oil. Get wetted by oil. Look at an oil pool.
I was banned from DU for bringing this up a few years ago. Libs really don’t like having their green BS revealed as BS.

Out with the eagle, in with the buffalo. Same principle as singing America the Beautiful after the National Anthem @ the Super Bowl. Erase martial influence from public expression.
Imagine the outcry from the MSM if 4,000 eagles a year were being killed by nuclear plants.
So, the wind farm boondoggles are allowed to drain billions from the taxpayers with some being doled out in kickbacks to the politicians, and untold numbers of emblems of the USA are butchered and strew across the countryside... A win-win for for the socialists!
Where is PETA? Oh, yeah, worrying about how farmers raise pigs.
In nature, more of each species is born than the food supply can support.
The animals that compete the best survive.
Windmills just introduce another way to die. At the end of the day there will still be the same number of surviving eagles. That number will be what the food chain can support.
A lot of sappy hand wringing over naught.
There are probably more Bald Eagles in the U.S. than there are domestic chickens. They will not be taken off the endangered list because the whackos will lose some control over businesses. Bill Clinton was going to take them off the endangered list then suddenly backed off without comment.
