Obama administration allows wind farms to kill eagles, birds, despite federal laws
Newser ^ | 5/14/13 | DINA CAPPIELLO

Wind farms in this corner of Wyoming have killed more than four dozen golden eagles since 2009, one of the deadliest places in the country of its kind.

But so far, the companies operating industrial-sized turbines here and elsewhere that are killing eagles and other protected birds have yet to be fined or prosecuted - even though every death is a criminal violation.

The Obama administration has charged oil companies for drowning birds in their waste pits, and power companies for electrocuting birds on power lines.

But the administration has never fined or prosecuted a wind-energy company, even those that flout the law repeatedly.

Yeah, a few dead birds. But if the BP had a few dead fish in the Gulf. THAT would be on the front page as well.

The Chicago Way, again.Now he mentions the reporter Shield law (bribe to the media to not push scandals) while tapping their phones to make sure no rival stories emerge to challenge Hussein Nixon’s view/spin on stories.

Intimidation of regime dissenters, just like a third world country.The IRS move is the lawless reaction to Citizens United.The “under the radar” gun grabs are ignoring the Heller decision.Suing Arizona to stop enforcement of Immigration laws.Ignoring 2 appeals court rulings against the NLRB recess appointments.

Laws, we don’t need no stinkin laws is the Holder, Obama, Butch Napolitano meme. Gangster politics.Standard method of operation.

Did a bunch of research a while back and probably worse is the killing of bats. Bats are massive bug vacuums and rely on “sonar” versus sight.

Obama doesn’t know about this.
It was low-level staffers.
What does it matter?
