The wind industry is killing thousands of eagles without a peep from the environmental wackos.
The electric power industry kills far more eagles than the wind mills.
4 Things That Kill More Birds Than Wind Farms | Care2 Causes
2. Electrocution: According to researchers at Vanderbilt University, electrocution is among the top five causes of bald eagle, golden eagle and raptor deaths. These fatalities occur when the large birds land on power lines, and their wings or feet accidentally touch two lines and form a circuit. Bald eagles may also fly directly into power lines that are not visible in poor weather conditions. Both situations kill the bird instantly.
Wind farms won't make any of those things go away. In fact, they will crease the odds of electrocution.
