'Green' energy kills American eagles
Wind farms kill about 83,000 hunting birds each year, including hawks, falcons and eagles. Killing an American eagle is federal crime, but despite the mass die-offs, the Obama administration has never once fined or prosecuted a wind energy company.

At wind farms throughout the US, iconic and protected birds regularly fly into spinning turbines. The crippled bodies of eagles are often found at the base of the machines after being cut up by the quickly spinning blades.

These birds of prey were once included on the list of threatened and endangered species - and although they are no longer listed, their population is still significantly less than it was in the early 20thcentury. Under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act of 1940, disturbing, killing or taking the birds or their eggs is a federal offense punishable by a maximum of two years imprisonment and a $250,000 for an individual felony conviction, and $500,000 for a felony conviction of an organization.

Re: 'Green' energy kills American eagles
There was a similar problem with bats in canada I think they adjusted the frequency the turbines emitted, so the bats could sense and avoid them.

They could recalibrate the frequency to one the birds would recognize.

I would want to eat one of your tasty chickens as well, but I would ask, as I am not an eagle...

There is no such thing as Green energy, there is no such thing as Green, its just a cover word for Red Communism.

There is a word for doing things better... efficiency. Your ancestors arguably up to your parents (on an average) were far more efficient or green or communist than you.
