Selective prosecution is unconstitutional - why is this happening?
To: Titus-Maximus
Because the Constitution is dead.

I suspect you will soon see Chinese restaurants opening under all the windmills.

What's good for the goose is good for the gander.
Fine these evil wind companies.
Trash their reputations. Treat them with the contempt oil companies get - then SUE THEM...
Enviro-wind companies are EXXON!!!!

Wind power is BEAUTIFUL! We need to convert as much of the landscape to wind power as humanly possible instead of doing CRAZY stuff like expanding nuclear power plants that have a relatively small footprint.

I can't believe those enviro-whackjobs think it's a wonderful idea to pepper the landscape with these, but they don't want to drill for oil here...

It’s not just birds they kill. Bats are killed too, in large numbers.
The vacuum from the wake vortex from the blades kills them. They don’t even have to touch the blades, which explains why their echolocation skills are not enough to keep them from being killed.
There was an article about it in (I think) Popular Science. A recent article.

Not only are they ugly - but for all the cost and maintenance, they don't produce squat energy. It's more “feel good” liberal bull...

You are correct. Is it not ironic:
When the courts try to make the Constitution a “living and breathing document”, the opposite happens - it dies.

They don’t even do that - it’s just one more big liberal drama queen event that does NOTHING. Well, nothing, except make liberals “feel” good about themselves...

“This is a double standard that more peopleand not just bird loversshould be paying attention to. In protecting America’s wildlife, federal law-enforcement officials are turning a blind eye to the harm done by “green” energy.”
Typical. Reminds me of the campaign against GM foods which help reduce pesticides and increase yield.
Reminds me of Ted Kennedy’s opposition to windmills - in HIS backyard that is.
