Bald Eagles: Gone with the Wind

***to allow the rotor blades of wind turbines to butcher 4,200 bald eagles per year for thirty years***

Well, the American Indians will be able to get plenty of feathers from the US government, unless they are chopped up too fine.

This is but one thing out of a gazillion that are wrong with IWTs. They are an unmitigated disaster and if you are fortunate enough to live in an area that doesn’t yet have them, either count yourself lucky or support what you have to keep them out.

To say nothing about the absolute blight these politically correct windmills inflict on the landscape.

[RetiredTexasVet]

At least the 4,200 deaths per year for 30 years are politically correct and should be considered just a small down payment on the much larger and more important issue of profitable Global Warming scams for think tanks, gov’t bureaucrats, professors, and crony capitalists. /s/

Yesterday, from my front porch, I had the honor of watching two bald eagles frolic on the creek. Maybe they were fishing, they were there a few hours. They are absolutely gorgeous!

This is going in just north of where I live. It will be the biggest wind farm in the country. The only thing wind turbines run on is subsidies.

I on;t really worry about the eagles...but these windmills are a waste of money, an eyesore, and pointless sop to the greenie morons.

4,200 bald eagles per year for thirty years

That headline is one reason we're losing. Headline should read:

Obama admin calls for slaughter of 126,000 bald eagles.

The plight of the Bald Eagle's supposedly thinning egg shells due to DDT caused DDT to be banned all over the world. Rachel Corrie's book and activism resulted in the deaths of uncounted millions of human beings. To this day, after being proven NOT to be the cause of the environmental damage that was claimed, it remains banned, even with all the furor over the Zika (sp?) virus.

But now, the government is just fine with the deaths of thousands of Bald Eagles every year, in the name of some of the most expensive "free" energy that has ever been foisted on a gullible public.

It boggles the mind.

Rachel Carson, `Silent Spring’?
I think Rachel Corrie was run over by a bulldozer.

Greentards are the blood enemies of God and the human race.

But don’t you get caught with a feather from one of the government-pureed eagles. You could do jail time.

And has anyone noticed that the highway beautification push from the federal government, dating back to Ladybird Johnson, keeps me from looking at the Black Velvet girl on a billboard, but now I get to ogle hundreds of ugly windmills by the side of the interstate?

[gigster]

There is a wind turbine located just north of the Grand Traverse Resort, north of Traverse City, Mi., and, I swear I’ve never seen those blades rotating.

[MarMema]

Too bad it wasn’t wolves

[TruthBeforeAll]

Every time I drive by these windmill farms I’m left asking myself, where are they connected to the grid? I see no transmission lines, and these things are all over the place by the hundreds around here out in the middle of corn fields. Yet I see no way that they are connected to anything.

Well it's okay if the government does it...just like the EPA's toxic yellow river deal in Colorado.

They snuck in a (foreign owned) farm in my county me a few years back. We successfully beat the next (foreign owned)and any further farms with a bunch of hard work and a great grassroots organization. Convinced the zoning board at a raucous, 8 hour meeting to force them to put up a Property Value Guarantee and change the setback from homes to 2500' instead of 1250'.

They kept making the claim that no non-leaseholder neighbor ever loses value on their homes, but they refused to back that up with their own money.

We sent almost all of the County officials responsible packing at the next Primary. The last ones are gone this year.

The whole damn deal destroyed local family relationships and generations old friendships.. Make no mistake about it, Industrial Wind Turbine Farms in your community WILL do just that.

These people had built their retirement home on land they've owned for decades. But their neighbor did this to them. Their son had a new house next door.

They both sold out and moved away.
