Require cages for Wind Turbines to protect birds,bats,& eagles

Created by P.H. on December 10, 2013

Michael Hutchins, national coordinator of the conservancy's wind energy campaign gave an estimate from a study in the Wildlife Society Bulletin, estimating that "573,000 birds and 888,000 bats are killed every year by wind farms." That is unacceptable to the People, and inexcusable if we are to maintain wild bird life, including eagles and bats. In addition, "Our basic feeling is, wind energy, yes. But it ought to be done right," Hutchins said. "You can't call it green if it's killing hundreds of thousands of birds and bats annually and if it's killing large numbers of protected eagles." retrieved from: http://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-wind-bald-eagles-20131207,0,48217.st...
