Moonbat War on Eagles

If a single issue sums up the phoniness, corruption, and anti-Americanism of the liberal establishment, it is the ongoing mass slaughter of our national symbol by the coercively subsidized wind turbines that Democrats pretend benefit the environment but that actually serve primarily to launder taxpayer money on behalf of their donors.

The American Eagle Foundation raises the alarm:

A 2013 study published in The Wildlife Society Bulletin found that wind turbines killed an estimated 573,000 birds annually in the United States.

Particularly vulnerable are soaring birds of prey like eagles.

Many a wind turbine has been raised as a monument to moonbattery since 2013. Many times more would be needed to achieve the progressive goal of replacing more efficient and reliable means of generating energy like fossil fuels.

An even more alarming fact is that the data on the number of deaths is gathered by paid consultants to the wind industry. That’s the fox guarding the chicken house. At the infamous Altamont Wind Resource Area alone, more than 2,000 Golden Eagles have been killed by the wind turbines there.

Unless something changes, the body count will continue to skyrocket:

The number of birds taken annually by wind energy facilities (not including associated power lines and towers) has been estimated to exceed 1.4 million birds by 2030 if there is no change in U.S. policy toward wind energy development.

Democrats in DC appear to be okay with this:

In December, 2016, a new eagle-management plan announced a final rule by the federal government that would give wind energy developers 30-year permits to “take” or incidentally kill protected Bald and Golden Eagles, without requiring the industry to share mortality data with the public or take into consideration such critical factors as proper siting.

Anyone who does not love and admire eagles has not gotten to know them. In that regard, live eagle cams can help:

Ironically, the wind turbines erected by moonbats also kill large numbers of bats. This is a problem because it lets the population of mankind’s worst enemy — the mosquito — flourish beyond control.

Killing vast numbers of birds and bats is hardly the only deleterious effect on the environment. In addition to the problem of disposing of old turbine blades (which even NPR admits to),

During construction of a wind turbine, roads often have to be widened or built from scratch; mountain tops are sometimes blasted away to create a level area of at least 3 acres, so that the platform can be stable enough to support the enormous weight of each turbine assembly.

Wind turbines have ruined some of America’s most beautiful landscapes. They are the Democrat Party’s visual equivalent of a stray dog spurting urine on everything to mark his territory by imposing his stink.
