We care about birds they said... https://www.cnn.com/2019/12/24/politics/trump-administration-policy-bird-deaths/index.html NYT: Trump administration policy change limits penalties for bird deaths Washington (CNN)A 2017 Trump administration policy change has severely limited any penalties groups might face for bird deaths across the United States, according to a new report published Tuesday by The New York Times. The Trump administration has frequently rolled back regulations aimed at protecting the environment and curbing the effects of climate change. Among the notable actions this year was the decision in June by the Environmental Protection Agency to roll back an Obama-era plan limiting coal-fired power plant emissions and the revocation of California's authority in September to set its own vehicle emission standards. In his fight against wind energy, Trump has repeatedly cited bird deaths from wind turbines. A CNN fact check has found that although hundreds of thousands of birds are killed from collisions with turbines, other energy sources, such as coal, oil and power lines, contribute to millions of avian deaths each year. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/24/climate/trump-bird-deaths.html A Trump Policy ‘Clarification’ All but Ends Punishment for Bird Deaths A new interpretation of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act in 2017 means that as of now, companies are no longer subject to prosecution or fines even after a disaster like the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in 2010 that destroyed or injured about one million birds and for which BP paid $100 million in fines.
I don't like fission reactors because of the unresolved waste fuel disposal problem. Its a NIMBY issue and even Yucca Mountain was nixed. It is difficult to identify a more remote site than that.
If we always stuck to what we know for sure, humans would not evolve past Stone Age. Wind or solar, who knows where it will take us.
The whole world knows it, perhaps you miss my point of exposing GOP hypocrisy on bird killing? Not which industry is a score leader on bird killing?
H4M is not having a factual debate, he is trying to show the hypocrisy of claiming you care so.much about birds to stop.windmills but then pass laws saying it is ok to kill birds. it is not about whether killing birds is an issue but talking out of 2 sides of your mouth.
