Chopping up American Bold Eagles is criminal.
How do you plan on preventing your wind mills from killing them?

"the energy is going to be way to expensive and it is hard to believe that the environmental impact would be minimal considering that you would have to cut the forests to put windmills."

You want to make the argument that some, even many, environmentalists are irrational? I'm with you there. Just look at AS. Does that paint everyone with the same brush? Now we are getting into the arena that Smirk inhabits.

There is a middle line. There are 6.6 billion people on the planet. Places like China have almost every square inch under cultivation. Number two is probably Europe, with the bulk of the US way down on the list.

Have you ever listened to owls in your backyard? I have. Have you ever cursed deer because they ate your trees? I have. Have you ever seen a puma/mountain lion or any large cat in the wild? I have. Have you ever seen a bear in the wild? I have. Have you ever seen a moose or other very large ungulate in the wild? I have. Have you ever lived in an area where you could be lost for a week or more within a 100 km. of your home? I have. Have you lived in a area where you could pick up an undescribed species? I have.

You might can answer 'yes' to one or more of my questions. But few Westerners can. The world is too small.
