The deaths of migratory birds have been a major concern since the introduction of wind turbines, which are estimated to cause as many as 681,000 bird deaths every year in the United States alone, according to the American Bird Conservancy.
As a result of their admission, the ESI must pay a fine of $8 million and spend an additional $27 million on projects designed to increase the safety of eagles and other birds around its wind farms over the next five years, which is a part of its probationary period.
Conclusion:
It's time to do a one-on-one match with the 'Global Warming' yahoos vs the 'Panty Headed Tree Hugging' maroons, it would make a great pay-per-view match.
