So the problem is that they didn’t pay in advance for a bird-killing permit?

Wind developer admits killing 136 bald and golden eagles in $35M settlement

It's OK, it's Green Energy or Die, anyway.

[Seruzawa]

Lol. Government. Encouraging companies to do things and then punishing them for doing it. Kafka is validated again.

in a related story, a new restaurant called Endangered Delicacies has opened with a wide range of grilled eagle and pulled eagle sandwiches.

The Greenies have always shouted “Where’s the evidence?”....

[oil_dude]

....But at least they are not oil derricks or pump jacks, because that would be unsightly. /s

[cranked]

...green energy... /s

So, it’s OK for a wind turbine company to get a permit to kill eagles with their windmills, but if you or I pick up a bald eagle feather off the ground and take it home, we are in deep doo-doo.

Killed more than DDT!

[plain talk]

“As part of its plea deal, ESI also agreed to pay a hefty settlement, which includes nearly $1.9 million in fines, $6.2 million in restitution”

Restitution to who? The family of the dead bald eagles?

[BradyLS]

They’ll use the EPA on everyone except the “green energy” players.

[logi_cal869]

So, then:

It is Ok to kill bald eagles if you’re serving ‘green’ and have the coin.

Got it.

135 bald and golden eagles are simply collateral damage and simply part of the price of the road to Utopia.

National Symbol? Doesn’t matter when we are talking about a Green New Utopia where everything is free. A place where we will have lemonade springs, big rock candy mountains and the cops will all have wooden legs so the looting will be easy.

SHEESH what a scam! Demand wind energy, then fine wind energy producers for doing what everyone knew woudl happen- birds dead- $$$ going into the pockets of those that demand wind energy-

A company planted a Solar Panel Farm near me and it is HUGE! I often wonder when driving by what is happening to the surrounding area and land now that all the sun’s energy is being lost to the panels. There is no free lunch so the cost or fallout of these panels will become self evident in the future.

[generally]

So..... How many did they and others kill aside from these permit-less kills????

[Rebelbase]

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

[Tallguy]

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

[blueunicorn6]

Well, the children of the dead eagles will be taken care of.

[ConservativeMind]

I think these bird killers are a good thing.
