You Got a License for That Windmill, Boy?

A new study shows that wind energy facilities have killed 67 federally protected golden and bald eagles in the last five years.

Wouldn’t it be cheaper to use shotguns?

  1. Well, obviously, we have to put big screens around each wind turbine, to protect the precious birdies.
    That’ll probably double the cost of each wind turbine and reduce each ones already minimal efficiency, but it’ll be more ‘green’ jobs, right?
    Maybe they can put solar panels on top of the screens?

    Those big screens would be Hi-Def, right?

    You’d have to have them tuned into various sports and entertainment channels to capture the eagles’ interests…y’know, showing interviews with Chip Kelly or episodes of Sons of Anarchy.

    Set up some recliners, beer coolers and bags of chips and I think the eagles would be good to go.
