How Symbolic - Obama to Give Wind Farms 30-Year Pass on Eagle Deaths

Obama couldn't have made a more symbolic gesture. m/r

Obama to Give Wind Farms 30-Year Pass on Eagle Deaths
by ROBERT WILDE 6 Dec 2013,

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.
