Yep. The left’s attitude is ‘either the eagles or us’.

IIRC, the tips of those turbine blades are moving at around 200mph.

Yes, but let an oil pipeline leak a drop and see what happens.

Restitution likely to leftists to further their revolution - Great Reset... and to buy multiple mansions like the BLM leaders did?

So the problem is that they didn’t pay in advance for a bird-killing permit? Essentially, that's the crux of it. It's informally referred to a "take permit".

Obama allowed Wind Turbines to legally kill Eagles.. the rotor blades of wind turbines to butcher 4,200 bald eagles and 40,000 golden eagles per year ..
On January 17, 2017, the number of bald eagles that can be killed (annually) by wind farms was increased from 1,100 to 4,200... Obama thru the US Fish and Wildlife Service issued new 30-year permits that allow the additional eagles to be killed or injured without prosecution under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act..

Restitution to who? The family of the dead bald eagles? Uncle Sugar.

I never cared for the idea of solar farms. Both for the reason you stated and because solar is unstable for grid power. The grid needs to be stable power. Solar has no place on the grid unless there's a fossil power source that can be throttled up and down as needed (to offset intermittent solar).
But solar on the roof or anywhere on one's property and meant to feed power to just that one family can be quite practical if you do it correctly (and have variables in your favor like living in the south where we get lots of sun).

Given the numbers in post 28, the children will be dead, too.

The Osage tribe has many acres of Giant Windmills....
IF I recall correctly they got a pass with killing so many Bald Eagles a year.

***where ESI had not applied for the necessary permits***
So, does the Government now issue bag limits for Bald Eagles?
Do they now shut down the wind farm when the bag limit is reached?
