Obama Doesn't Prosecute Wind Farms for Deaths of Protected Birds

Don't ya just love how the Obama administration picks and chooses which laws it will enforce....based on their politics?
They have never prosecuted for the endangered birds being killed by Wind farms......however, they have often prosecuted oil and fossil fuel industry using those endangered species laws. More hypocrisy and double standards from those at top!!

CONVERSE COUNTY, Wyo. – The Obama administration has never fined or prosecuted a wind farm for killing eagles and other protected bird species, shielding the industry from liability and helping keep the scope of the deaths secret, an Associated Press investigation has found.


More than 573,000 birds are killed by the country's wind farms each year, including 83,000 hunting birds such as hawks, falcons and eagles, according to an estimate published in March in the peer-reviewed Wildlife Society Bulletin.


Each death is federal crime, a charge that the Obama administration has used to prosecute oil companies when birds drown in their waste pits, and power companies when birds are electrocuted by their power lines. No wind energy company has been prosecuted, even those that repeatedly flout the law.

A biased, one sided Government..................next stop North Korea.

 

Democrats- green on the outside, red on the inside.

 

Oh the faux outrage , Obama has 3 1/2 years to go enjoy.

 

gee, would they prosecute a driver if he\she ran into a bird that ran into their car... common sense folks

.

 

AP investigated and broke this story so apparently some people care about the wildlife that the government is supposed to protect, even if you don't.
It's unfortunate that some people are willing to overlook anything depending on if it benefits Obama or not.

 

Faux outrage, faux scandals; Faux news strikes again.

 

It's very unfortunate that some people are willing to blame Obama for for everything under the sun , throw it at the wall see if it sticks .

 

Very simply, is the AP invetigative report true or not? Are you willing to provide evidence to the contrary?

We both know you aren't, of course so your post is nothing but partisan puffery.

 

Yes but only 18 months of having any control over congress. I will enjoy pointing out each and every wrong doing and hypocrisy of his administration. It will be a great day for America the day he trundles his stupid arrogant ass back to Chicago.

 

That's good . It was a great day watching that dumb ass redneck walk out office , so do enjoy .

 

As with "Nobel Peace Prize" winning Obama's ramping up of indiscriminate drone attacks on furrin brown people,
a little "collateral damage" is perfectly acceptable if "common good" outcomes may be realized.

 

I enjoyed that too, I never voted for Bush, not in 2000 and not in 2004. He was too much of a RINO for me.

 

Thorbjorn Jagland, chairman of the Nobel Peace Prize Committee, said today that President Obama “really ought to consider” returning his Nobel Peace Prize

LOLOLOL!

 

See we can agree . Thank you sir

 

You do realize that this "story" all stems from a satire web site? Not that it matters to you I suppose, that it's all BS...

 

Of course I do.

Where is the DOJ and EPA on the breaking of law by the wind energy company's killing large amounts of protected species birds? C'mon Bob Perciasepe, show us you have more brains than Jackson.

 

So, have conservatives changed their mind on climate change then?

Or are they waiting to accept it when obama can be blamed for it?

 

Yep. Just like a colonoscopy without the anesthesthetic.

 

At the rate Obama is going......making enemies of the press who all loved and adored him so.......being caught lying about something as important as 4 Americans, including an Ambassador being murdered....purposefully targeting conservatives and keeping them out of the political system in an election year....you'll be lucky if he lasts to the end of his term.

 

Isn't that amazing??? Bush used the drones for attacks on terrorists expected of imminent attacks ONLY 50 times in 8 years. Obama has used them 400 times in just a little over 4 years. And now....for his cover....he's asking for Congress to make another law that will stop him!!!!! Hey, how about just using some common sense like Bush did??? Even Colin Powell is now saying publicly that they should be used by the military NOT by the CIA as Obama and his gang are using them. What I find hilarious on that issue is the deafening silence of Democrats. Democrats who went on and on about Bush's use of drones 50 times during 8 years.....but nothing about how Obama is using them. Will they EVER pull their collective heads out and at least TRY to be consistent in their views????

 

I think he was embarrassed when he got it. Even he knew he didn't deserve it. He got a Nobel Peace Prize from the far left in Europe.....for NOT being Bush.

 

No..."of means and ends" precludes it.

 

This was one of the reasons the IRS targeted Conservative groups, they might actually use tax free cash to sue the EPA and DOJ for not enforcing the law on wind farms as they do on oil companies.

 

Benghazi is a fox noise talking point no one gives a (*)(*)(*)(*) , it was a dangerous job sad that it happened .
