Even more absurd and outrageous, the same Obama USFWS has given wind turbine companies permits to kill hundreds of bald and golden eagles — and thousands of raptors, other birds and bats, many of them threatened or endangered — every year for the next 30 years.

the rapid complication of ensuring a stable power supply, a large and for some, no longer affordable increases in energy costs, the creation of severe biological consequences with the wholesale destruction of bats in particular plus severe bird kills which are all still mostly hidden by the wind industry if personal anecdotal information from within the wind industry is correct.

It's human nature, this ongoing collision course that for several decades now has pitted North America's bird and bat lovers against the still somewhat - fledgling — but rapidly growing — wind industry.

That problem — * exasperated sigh * — is this: if the RSPB is really concerned about the potential disturbance to wildlife of a few noisy lorries and drill rigs (which, let's not forget, are only up for a short period, after which they are replaced by a silent extraction device called a Christmas tree), how come it's so cheerfully complacent about the epic numbers of rare birds and protected bats which are sliced and diced (or, in the case of bats, barotraumatised — i.e. made to implode) by the industrial wind turbines which the RSPB not only champions but from which it benefits financially.

«Therefore, supposing for example that wind farms would kill twice as many bats as they do birds, the figures would be: 111 — 333 birds per turbine per year, and 222 — 666 bats per turbine / year.

Exemptions for bird - and bat - killing wind turbines must no longer be permitted, and ESA rules must be applied with equal force to all projects, not just drilling, mining, pipelines, power plants, grazing, and timber cutting.

So are raptors, looking for easy food (dead or injured birds and bats lying under wind turbines) or perching opportunities on tall structures, are also attracted by them: https://savetheeagles.wordpress.com/2013/05/28/raptors-attracted-to-windfarms-2/

The net effect is: - zero effect on climate - zero effect on pollution - expensive electricity bills (to pay for the subsidies)- millions of dead birds and bats, extinction of some species - neighbors who can't sleep and die young.

Instead of trying to keep energy bills down (so that everyone can afford airconditioning or heating, according to need; and so that the economy can grow, bringing work and prosperity), we've driven them up artificially through carbon taxes and renewables subsidies for all those useless bat - chomping, bird - slicing eco-crucifixes destroying our countryside.
