When bald eagles confront danger, most normal Americans would leap to preserve, protect and defend America’s national symbol. But Team Obama’s response is completely different: It wants to give wind-power companies long-term permits to butcher bald eagles on the altar of green energy.
Three years ago, after FWS investigated, a Wyoming utility called PacificCorp paid $10.5 million in fines after 232 golden eagles and other protected birds were electrocuted on its power lines between January 2007 and July 2009.
If bald eagles dropped dead beside oil derricks, Washington would pound the petroleum industry flatter than Weiner schnitzel. Instead, wind turbines chop bald eagles in half. Team Obama then lets wind companies eradicate even more of this Republic’s innocent national bird.
This is not the behavior of normal Americans. Deroy Murdock
