Bird conservation group challenges feds over wind farm eagle deaths

One of the nation’s leading bird conservation groups plans to sue the Obama administration over a federal regulation that allows wind energy companies to obtain 30-year permits to kill eagles without prosecution by the government.

The American Bird Conservancy on Wednesday announced its intent to file the lawsuit, arguing the Department of the Interior violated federal laws when it promulgated the regulation it says sanctions the killing of bald and golden eagles.

“The rule lacks a firm foundation in scientific justification and was generated without the benefit of a full assessment of its impacts on eagle populations,” said Michael Hutchins, National Coordinator of ABC’s Bird Smart Wind Energy Campaign.

The Obama administration announced in December it would allow companies to seek authorization to kill and harm bald and golden eagles for up to 30 years without penalty in a bid to balance the environmental trade-offs of green energy.

The Interior Department rule provides legal protection for the lifespan of wind farms and other projects if companies obtain permits and make efforts to avoid killing protected birds.

  1. It’s great when 2 different lib factions with their own regressive agendas have to clash like this. Can’t blame Republicans, can’t blame conservatives, heck can’t even blame Bush!

    Well, check that. A simple lie blown out by the state media to their low info viewers would change that last one.

  2. I’m hearing that the government weinies in the EPA, BLM, FS, NPS will be sending armed personnel to recovered the mangled eagles. The plan is to salvage the feathers to enhance Lizzie Pokes a Wantus Warden’s head dress.

  3. And while they’re at it they need to add the solar farms to the complaint. Birds are being cooked in flight, the air is being heated up (wake up you “global warming” fascists), and the natural beauty and habitats of desert creatures is ruined. I also recall hearing that the glare is dangerous for pilots.

    The enviro-nazis cut off water for farmers in CA (hello, where do you think your food comes from?) in favor of a fish. These idiots need to physically clean up the carnage. After picking up a few dozen carcasses, perhaps they’d change their tune.

  4. I remember when my hometown wanted to put up a bicentennial tower. The birds would commit suicide by running into it on autopilot was the allegation.

    Why do we even give these insane people the time of day. Every policy they implement always seems to have a downside in respect to the original intended solution to some problem. They can’t look around the near corner, much less see any distance into the future.
