Bald and Golden Eagles

Not all bird species are equally vulnerable to wind turbines. Eagles appear to be particularly susceptible. Large numbers of golden eagles have been killed by wind turbines in the western states. However, bald eagles have also been killed, although not in the numbers seen in the West. The Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (Eagle Act) prohibits the take, possession, sale, offer to sell, purchase or barter, transport, export or import, of any bald or golden eagle, alive or dead, including any part, nest or egg, unless allowed by permit.



Wind facility operators can obtain a permit from the Service for the “take” of eagles that may occur while operating their facility. Go here to find out more about compliance with the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act.

Why should they get to "take" eagles when other industries can not without penalty?


I wonder why Brewster, Colo_crawdad, Stoned, Thumper, and ImaHeadaU keep ignoring the obvious question?

"Why should they get to "take" eagles when other industries can not without penalty?"

Firstly, it is not without penalty. Penalties do kick in at a certain level.

Secondly, do we let the power transmission industry or the motor vehicle industry take eagles?

Thirdly, the permit process allows regulators the opportunity to work with this industry to improve the design and placement of wind turbine tower such that fewer and fewer birds of all kinds be taken as we learn more and improve the way they work.

Avoiding the question makes you greenies look very little.

No what you call a answer is nothing but another of your games. You are tiresome but go ahead and make a idiot of yourself.

Hell, I am still waiting for a number on the eagles. I thought that was the point of the whole thing, too many eagles getting killed.

How many is too many? I guess we will never know.

No, I clearly stated what the subject matter is:
