Republicans, Wind Turbines Okay to Kill Eagles

[elektra]

Ha, ha, while we fight among ourselves Democrats and Republicans are united in furthering Green Energy at the expense of the environment. How is it everyone think Republicans do not support Green Energy, everyone will get rich off Green Energy, Democrats and Republicans, they all support Green Energy.

Yet they have us fighting, well they keep their mouths shut and pass 1000's of bills in support of Green Energy.

H.R. 493 will allow all Green Renewable energy projects to kill Eagles, because its an accident?

Searching the document I found it was introduced by the Republicans, not one Democrat on the committee.

January 22, 2015

Mr. Duncan of South Carolina (for himself, Mr. Jones, Mrs. Black, Mr.
Johnson of Ohio, Mr. Bucshon, and Mr. Mulvaney) introduced the
following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Natural
Resources

SEC. 3. PERMITS FOR INCIDENTAL TAKE.

Section 1 of the Act of June 8, 1940 (chapter 278; 16 U.S.C. 668),
popularly known as the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act, is amended
by adding at the end the following:
``(d) Permits for Incidental Take.--Upon submission of a
substantially completed application, the Secretary shall issue or deny
an eagle take permit for no less than 30 years under section 22.26 of
title 50, Code of Federal Regulations, that authorizes taking of any
bald eagle or golden eagle that is incidental to, but not the purpose
of, an otherwise lawful activity. Failure to issue or deny such a
permit within a reasonable time (which shall not exceed one year) is
deemed issuance of such permit, and the applicant shall not be subject
to liability for any incidental take of a bald eagle or golden eagle
that is in conformity with the information submitted to the Secretary
as part of the application for the permit.''.

Buildings, powerlines and cars kill far more.

Buildings, powerlines and cars kill far more.

But he did it first mommy

 

[ScienceRocks]

Maybe humans should kill ourselfs for the fucking Eagles. But before that, we should cut all the tall trees and kill all the animals that also kill eagles!

 

[HenryBHough]

Why all the fuss about eagles when Obama has made The American Bird (no, not the turkey....) the pink flamingo!

The Point made is that its republicans and democrats ripping us off.

There are trade-offs to most technology, innovation, and automation. We can't cover all bases while trying to make a better world, a better environment, and a better nation. Sometimes we have to make sacrifices in order to advance and to expand opportunities for a better tomorrow. Yes, we're going to make mistakes, create problem where none existed before, but what we must always ask, "is the risk worth the sacrifices". Sometimes moving forward is not collateral free, nor pleasant for everything and everyone.

NEVER !! ---- We should never ever destroy the environment, under any circumstances. We're already polluting rivers, streams, the oceans, the air, and destroying forests. We've done a lot of damage to the environment already, and it's time to stop.

"We estimate that on an annual basis, less than 0.1% ... of songbird and other small passerine species populations in North America perish from collisions with turbines,"says lead author Wallace Erickson of Wyoming-based West.

The study based its estimate on data from 116 studies conducted in the U.S. and Canada, after adjusting for the fact that surveys don't capture all fatalities. Some carcasses are missed by monitors, disappear because of scavenging or decompose before they're counted. Nearly two thirds, or 63%, of reported fatalities were small birds of 156 different species.

The wind energy industry has occasionally been at odds with conservation groups because of bird deaths. They clashed in December when the Obama administration, eager to promote non-polluting renewable energy as a way to address climate change, announced a new federal rule that allows wind farms to lawfully kill bald and golden eagles under 30-year permits.

Yet many environmentalists say wind power ultimately benefits birds. It is a "a growing solution to some of the more serious threats that birds face, since wind energy emits no greenhouse gases that accelerate climate change," Terry Root of Stanford Woods Institute for the Environment, said in a statement accompanying the study's release.

Earlier this month, a National Audubon Society report said that hundreds of bird species in the U.S. — including the bald eagle and eight state birds, from Idaho to Maryland — are at "serious risk" due to climate change. It said some species are forecast to lose more than 95% of their current ranges.

Wind turbines kill fewer birds than do cats cell towers

Funny thing, these 'Conservatives' are the very same people that insist we go back to using DDT. That nearly destroyed our raptor population last time around. And the roads beside the towers kill more raptors than do the towers.
