Environmentalists fight against renewable energy.

The same people fighting this (and they fight them all) also were the driving force behind a law in MN FORCING energy companies to get to 25% renewable by 2025.

Bald eagles could thwart Red Wing wind farm Article by: JOSEPHINE MARCOTTY , Star Tribune Updated: July 25, 2011 - 1:57 AM In battle against a Red Wing project, citizens turn to a national symbol.


Just before the government shutdown on July 1, the 12,000-acre project cleared a major hurdle when the state Public Utilities Commission (PUC) voted to move it forward. But in recent months, a citizens group that has opposed the project discovered that the 50 turbines will be built smack in the middle of prime nesting territory for that beloved American symbol of freedom.

Federal wildlife officials say that the developer could face civil or even criminal action under federal laws if a bald eagle or an even more rare golden eagle is felled by one of the massive blades.

[there are Bald Eagles everywhere in the State. If it is criminal to hurt one with a wind mill blade then every windmill should be shut down today]

[also notice a common feature of new generation Federal Criminal law. No criminal intent need be proven to make a developer a felon. Bird flies into a windmill blade, the boss is a felon.]
