Why don’t they go after the wind generators? They kill hundreds of thousands of birds, including 10’s of thousands of raptors. The Zero regulators ignore these violators.

And it’s not like ducks are endangered.

“Windmills Are Killing Our Birds: One standard for oil companies, another for green energy sources.”
On Aug. 13, ExxonMobil pleaded guilty in federal court to killing 85 birds that had come into contact with crude oil or other pollutants in uncovered tanks or waste-water facilities on its properties. The birds were protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, which dates back to 1918. The company agreed to pay $600,000 in fines and fees.
Michael Fry of the American Bird Conservancy estimates that U.S. wind turbines kill between 75,000 and 275,000 birds per year. Yet the Justice Department is not bringing cases against wind companies.

“Somebody has given the wind industry a get-out-of-jail-free card,” Mr. Fry told me. “If there were even one prosecution,” he added, the wind industry would be forced to take the issue seriously.

Why don’t we go after the damn fools from the injustice department who did this. One was described as an “apointee”. Now who could that fool be?

How many abuses of power will we submit to?

Words can not express how much I despise these slime bags.

Wind power is a protected enterprise - oil is not. Crony capitalism, comrade, crony capitalism.

They would but there is too much of a chance that they would fly their helicopter into the wind turbine .... you’re not dealing with even average intelligence here.
