The federal government is asking for extended permission to slaughter bald eagles....with idiotic wind mills. Currently there is a 5-year limit on the taking of protected species when engaged in an otherwise legal commercial activity, but wind-turbine blades are slaughtering birds of all species by the millions annually, including America's symbol. So the government is asking for a 20 year permit to kill bald eagles or else it will have to remedy the situation. It matters not that stupid wind farms account for barely 2% of our electricity needs and cost far more than coal or natural gas, democrats are going to press forward with useless "green" energy that is no where near marketability.
I wonder how many Americans would vote to keep subsidizing stupid windmills if they knew it meant the slaughter of millions of birds each year including the bald eagle?
Right you are.....not many.

Really? Millions annually? You are starting to sound like a tree-hugger.
The article said perhaps millions of birds total not just eagles. I'm not a tree hugger, just pointing out the hypocrisy of the environmentalists who don't see the conflict between green energy and their supposed love of nature.
