Leap in logic? You mean the analysis of birds killed by fossil fuels, etc was paid for by green new deal advocates? Or the facts that fossil fuel is used to create the components needed in making wind turbines? Or that fossil fuel/nuclear is needed when the wind doesn’t blow or the sun doesn’t shine?Honestly I don't know how you made that leap in logic.Really? So you are fine with getting rid of the fuel industry, which is necessary for those wind turbines that can’t exist without fossil fuels. Got it. By the way, the analysis regarding how many are killed from fossil fuel, etc. was paid for by green new deal advocates.The number of birds killed buy wind turbines pales to the number of birds killed by fossil fuel companies and nuclear power plants.What is true-I have already addressed that issue and it is not completely true.
Protect Eagles from Wind Turbine Fatalities
An even more alarming fact is that the data on the number of deaths is gathered by paid consultants to the wind industry. That’s the fox guarding the chicken house. At the infamous Altamont Wind Resource Area alone, more than 2,000 Golden Eagles have been killed by the wind turbines there.
Fish & Wildlife Service’s Eagle Management Plan Presents Grave Risk
In December, 2016, a new eagle-management plan announced a final rule by the federal government that would give wind energy developers 30-year permits to “take” or incidentally kill protected Bald and Golden Eagles, without requiring the industry to share mortality data with the public or take into consideration such critical factors as proper siting. The so-called Eagle Take Rule, finalized by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, puts many thousands of the nation’s protected Bald and Golden Eagles at unacceptable risk.
You are so blind to your own bias, it’s stunning.
