"Alaska paid over $100,000 in bounties for 115,000 bald eagles between 1917 and 1942. [Anon. Science News Letter, July 3, 1943]"

That was one of the arguments submitted in the defense against banning DDT, which was accused of being responsible for the decline of not only eagles but all raptors.

" William Ruckelshaus, the administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency who made the ultimate decision to ban DDT in 1972, was a member of the Environmental Defense Fund. Ruckelshaus solicited donations for EDF on his personal stationery that read “EDF’s scientists blew the whistle on DDT by showing it to be a cancer hazard, and three years later, when the dust had cleared, EDF had won.”

I wish they’d get rid of the stupid things. They are over-priced, useless and unreliable.

They should built those only over water, to get rid of the evidence.

Dunno but they claimed they could withstand an F5 tornado in wind tunnel tests - for my money I’d rather see it - on video of course.

No need foxes and other predators have learned to scavenge the ground for a free lunch. I’m sure this won’t have unintended consequences either, what’s that...

Thank you for that. I remember that piece and this whole subject made me want to search and post it here. You saved me the trouble. I don’t think Rush wrote it but that’s where I first heard it.

Every commercial windmill erected will indiscriminately kill hundreds of endangered birds annually. And their noise actually attract bats (which in some parts of the US are invaluable to agriculture as agents of cross-pollination), then beats them to death.
