| Subject: Hey environmentalist, you'll love this: Obama administration allows wind farms to kill eagles, birds despite federal laws Tue May 14, 2013 3:58 am | |
| The Obama administration has never fined or prosecuted a wind farm for killing eagles and other protected bird species, shielding the industry from liability and helping keep the scope of the deaths secret, an Associated Press investigation has found.
More than 573,000 birds are killed by the country’s wind farms each year, including 83,000 hunting birds such as hawks, falcons and eagles, according to an estimate published in March in the peer-reviewed Wildlife Society Bulletin.
