Fucking idiots think it's ok to give a pass on killing birds in anyway? Well fuck you, it's not! Add all the words you want to what I have said, truth be told, Obama had given the wind farms a pass till now, guess he doesn't give a shit about Eagles either
I can't believe you assholes think it's ok that an industry, any industry should get a pass on killing endangered birds, fucking hypocrites saying "Well the oil industry is worse" You're all fucking morons !!!!!
The oil industry has it's problems but it's a hell of a lot bigger than the wind farm industry. The wind farms have options they have not explored because of people giving them a pass (Obama) Maybe now they will explore those options

Under the Obama Administration the Bureau of Land Management has issued new stricter guidelines for wind farms designed to improve a situation which many people in the Obama Administration undoubtedly felt as passionate about as Vendzilla.
By coincidence, one of my summer jobs during college in the early 80's was working for the Meterology Department and going out to a windy area called Altamont Pass, where we road around hilltops on 4-wheel ATVs, and flew these cool kites that took various wind speed and direction measurements (smoking some killer buds on the way...good times, hehe).
I guess this means that technically I can list professional kite flyer on my resume...
Strange that the fruits of my labor, something so well meaning, would turn out environmentally destructive in it's own way. Nonetheless, people are aware of the problems, and are acting in ways to do a better job with regards to avian protection, as this video shows (damn, I spent a lot of hours out on those hills one summer, decent pay for a college kid):
