Colorado’s 9 News<\/a> posted a story yesterday about a proposed change in the number of permits for bald and golden eagle deaths under the Bald Eagle<\/a> and Golden Eagle<\/a> Protection Act. This is about wind farms<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

“Bald eagles were taken off the endangered species list<\/a> in 2007,” Bove said. “Not that many years has passed since they were taken off this list and now the federal government is proposing to take four to six thousand of these birds.”<\/strong><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n
The federal government also wants to issue these permits on a 30-year-basis instead of the current 5-year process. Bove says the whole process is not mandated as it is for companies who may kill bald or golden eagles incidentally.<\/strong><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n
“These permits are voluntary and that in effect as I believe and many groups believe is one of the main problems with this whole issue,” Bove said.<\/strong><\/div>\n

It’s time to look at wind energy<\/a> realistically. The wind does not blow all the time. All wind energy needs fossil fuel energy<\/a> as a back-up to keep electricity flowing 24 hours a day (something Americans expect). Wind energy is more expensive than fossil fuel energy (particularly electricity generated by natural gas, which is clean burning and plentiful in America). Without government subsidies<\/a> wind energy would not be feasible. This is another example of the government choosing winners and losers, and in this case, the winners will hurt the finances of the average American<\/a> rather than provide a cheaper source of energy.<\/p>\n

The killing of the bald and golden eagles is bad enough, but the fact that it is done to reward certain companies in the name of green energy is obscene.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
