New administration rule would permit thousands of eagle deaths at wind farms

[Freewill]

Maybe the dead birds could be used to feed the homeless. Funny how polar bears, which have almost no interaction with humans, are a big concern to the left wing. But eagles that actually do serve a purpose helpful to man, not so much.

The Obama administration is revising a federal rule that allows wind-energy companies to operate high-speed turbines for up to 30 years, even if means killing or injuring thousands of federally protected bald and golden eagles.

Under the plan announced Wednesday, companies could kill or injure up to 4,200 bald eagles a year without penalty -- nearly four times the current limit. Golden eagles could only be killed if companies take steps to minimize the losses, for instance, by retrofitting power poles to reduce the risk of electrocution.

Penalty for what?

Just the eagles too stupid to fly around the giant spinning blades.

Too bad we don't have stuff like that for humans.

The number of Trump supporters proves we need to thin the herd a bit.

Maybe allowing guns at his rally, free beer, and lock the doors.

They have developed a different wind turbine that doesn't have the large propeller turbine...and takes less space..

Funny how hunters, pro-execution people, pro-war people, suddenly give a damn about birds.

Who says I give a damn, the point is that you on the left pretend to when it fits your political agenda.

Your love of the Non Sequitur is well noted.

What!? After doing it pro boner?

Bechard, a biologist at Boise State University in Idaho, and colleagues from the Doñana Biological Station in Seville, Spain, had been hired to help the birds make it safely past 13 wind farms in Cádiz province. Each time the researchers spotted a raptor heading towards a turbine, they called the wind farm's control tower. Within minutes the blades slowed to a stop, and one more migrating bird soared past unharmed. Then the turbine swung back into action.

The trouble with turbines: An ill wind


Wind turbines kill far fewer birds in general each year than do many other causes linked to humans, including domestic cats and collisions with glass windows. But wind power has a disproportionate effect on certain species that are already struggling for survival, such as the precarious US population of golden eagles (Aquila chrysaetos canadensis).

People pretend on both sides of the spectrum. I don't. I actually have viewpoints that have taken a long time to get to.
