Obama to Declare Open Season on Eagles

Obama is going to sign a law that allows Windfarms to slaughter Eagles without fearing repercussions from the EPA. Leftist environmentalists seem to think that wind energy is more important than a few thousand dead eagles, because hey, at least wind farms aren’t fracking or digging up coal.

From Breitbart here:

The Obama administration is about to approve a rule that will ensure the death of golden and bald eagles for the next 30 more years.
Hundreds of thousands of birds die each year flying into the deadly turbine blades atop the soaring towers that compose wind farms. The rule will give wind farms thirty year permits for the “non purposeful take of eagles-that is where the take is associated with but not the purpose of, the activity.’’ The take of eagles is also a euphemism for the slaughter of them.
The wind farms fulfill Obama’s ambitious pursuit of developing renewable energy sources. Unfortunately, some bird species being destroyed by the turbines are not renewable. As a result, Obama finds himself wedged between the ire of opposing green groups. In July, wildlife groups met with administration officials and lobbied against the granting of 30 year permits for energy companies that own the wind farms.

Remember when Rachel Carson wrote Silent Spring because birds were supposedly dying? It was an impetus behind the creation of the EPA in the first place. So the world banned DDT, allowing millions to die of mosquito-borne diseases, and now the EPA is allowing the slaughter of the same birds that Carson was so weepy about. This is the definition of liberalism.
