Give these crooked bastards the hell they deserve
Over 300 comments came in yesterday about the wind industry proposal to allow the wind industry to harvest 6200 eagles annually. Most of them are giving these crooked bastards hell.

I submitted the following comment:
"It is despicable and immoral for the wind industry to be allowed to slaughter ANY BIRDS & BATS but particularly our eagles. This industry deserves to be prosecuted for crimes against wildlife and destruction of scenic and natural resources, not be given permission to "take". What the HELL kind of wishy washy cover for slaughter is that term? Bureaucracy doing the bidding of a special interest group and not its mission. Wildlife and Eagles are your constituency, NOT the wind industry!
Do YOUR JOB, Fish and Wildlife Service and protect eagles and their habitats, not promote their destruction by an industry that wouldn't even exist except for misplaced ideological zealotry that falsely promotes wind energy as something that is worth sacrificing a species that is still challenged decades after coming back from the brink of extinction. Are wind turbines going to be the contemporary version of the DDT threat from the mid 20th century?
It is the height of hypocrisy that any wildlife biologist or ornithologist would allow a proposed rule to even be considered. Do YOUR JOB and protect the eagles. My personal experience is at the Rollins Wind Project in Lincoln, Maine. Prior to construction of this useless (less than 29% capacity factor production) project that sprawls across seven miles of ridges, there were nesting pairs of eagles on the shores of Mattakeunk Lake, Upper Pond, and Folsom Pond. There are no eagles there today. Hopefully, construction noise drove them to relocate; if they were killed by turbines, I am certain that First Wind (now SunEdison), as unscrupulous a company as I have ever witnessed, has covered it up. Rollins Mt. and the ridges of Rocky Dundee, high above the 13 Lincoln Lakes, was once a diverse wildlife region, now turned into blasted away and scalped industrial wasteland hosting 40 turbines that barely produce a fickle trickle of electricity. To lose the eagles due to this wind project is a travesty and the loss of the eagles is the loss of the soul of the region.
Multiply this experience with a very modest size wind project by a thousand fold or more and our eagles will be decimated--legally by adoption of this rule. You must not allow this to happen. NO TAKING of Eagles by the wind industry!"

Maine Center For Public Interest Reporting – Three Part Series: A CRITICAL LOOK AT MAINE’S WIND ACT
******** IF LINKS BELOW DON'T WORK, GOOGLE THEM*********
(excerpts) From Part 1 – On Maine’s Wind Law “Once the committee passed the wind energy bill on to the full House and Senate, lawmakers there didn’t even debate it. They passed it unanimously and with no discussion. House Majority Leader Hannah Pingree, a Democrat from North Haven, says legislators probably didn’t know how many turbines would be constructed in Maine if the law’s goals were met." . – Maine Center for Public Interest Reporting, August 2010 https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-power-bandwagon-hits-bumps-in-the-road-3/From Part 2 – On Wind and Oil Yet using wind energy doesn’t lower dependence on imported foreign oil. That’s because the majority of imported oil in Maine is used for heating and transportation. And switching our dependence from foreign oil to Maine-produced electricity isn’t likely to happen very soon, says Bartlett. “Right now, people can’t switch to electric cars and heating – if they did, we’d be in trouble.” So was one of the fundamental premises of the task force false, or at least misleading?" https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-swept-task-force-set-the-rules/From Part 3 – On Wind-Required New Transmission Lines Finally, the building of enormous, high-voltage transmission lines that the regional electricity system operator says are required to move substantial amounts of wind power to markets south of Maine was never even discussed by the task force – an omission that Mills said will come to haunt the state.“If you try to put 2,500 or 3,000 megawatts in northern or eastern Maine – oh, my god, try to build the transmission!” said Mills. “It’s not just the towers, it’s the lines – that’s when I begin to think that the goal is a little farfetched.” https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/flaws-in-bill-like-skating-with-dull-skates/

Sign up today and lend your voice and presence to the steadily rising tide that will soon sweep the scourge of useless and wretched turbines from our beloved Maine countryside. For many of us, our little pieces of paradise have been hard won. Did the carpetbaggers think they could simply steal them from us?
We have the facts on our side. We have the truth on our side. All we need now is YOU.
