Wind Farms Kill Birds By The Hundreds Of Thousands

The video below shows an the accidental death of an eagle. Such occurrences are very, very common. By the American Bird Conservancy's estimate 440,000 birds are killed each year by wind farms but when 28 ducks landed by mistake in an oil waste pit in North Dakota the US attorney charged 7 oil companies with violating the Migratory Bird Act.
As Jack Dini wrote in the Canada Free Press:

"When it comes to protecting America’s wildlife, environmental organizations and federal law enforcement officials have a double standard: one that’s enforced against oil, gas and electric utility sectors, and another that exempts wind and solar power from prosecution despite evidence of a multitude of violations."

There’s more: In July 2009, Pacificorp agreed to pay $10.5 million in fines, restitution and equipment upgrade costs for the deaths of at least 232 golden eagles, 46 hawks, 50 owls and nearly 200 other birds that had been electrocuted in Wyoming since January 2007. The cost per bird computes to a little less than $20,000.

It doesn't seem right to prosecute anyone for an accidental bird death but the environmental left and the US government perpetrate a greater injustice when the selectively prosecute oil, gas and conventional electric utilities while they turn a blind eye to wind farms that mow them down by the hundreds of thousands.
