What Would Edward Abbey Have Said? He'd be calling for monkey wrenching Altamont and Ivanpah. Posted on March 14, 2015 by stevengoddard Edward Abbey was a radical environmentalist author who had a lot of influence on me as a youth. Like me, he fought hard for protection of wilderness and wildlife habitat. He wrote fictional books about blowing up green energy projects like hydroelectric dams. If he saw the wilderness destroying wildlife death traps that were being built by eco-criminals now in the name of the environment, he would be outraged. The global warming scam has completely sucked the brains out of the environmental movement. I intend to take it back from these crooks, by exposing them. I am a whistle blower.

Big Green set to wipe out American golden eagles There are only 20K of them. Altamont alone kills one every three days. Big Green wants to multiply the number of wind turbines (and thus the death toll) by 30 times. Whooping cranes, condors .... you're slated for extinction too. Big Green Money And Corruption Vs. The Environment Posted on March 15, 2015 by stevengoddard The US Park Service says that there are twenty thousand Golden Eagles in the western US The most recent survey of Golden Eagles across four large Bird Conservation Regions (BCRs) in the West (80 percent of the species’ range in the lower 48 states is in these BCRs) provided an estimate of 20,722 Golden Eagles of all ages across the survey area. www.fws.gov/windenergy/docs/Golden_Eagle_Status_Fact_Sheet.pdf The Altamont Pass wind farm kills one Golden eagle every three days, which means they have killed more than 10% of the population. Dr. Shawn Smallwood’s 2004 study, spanning four years, estimated that California’s Altamont Pass wind “farm” killed an average of 116 Golden Eagles annually (2). This adds up to 2,900 dead “goldies” since it was built 25 years ago. US windfarms kill 10-20 times more than previously thought \| Save the Eagles International Greens want to put these impenetrable death traps up all over the country, causing the extinction of all large bird species – which have essentially no chance of flying through a wind farm safely. Turbine blades are as long as a football field, and travel more than 100 miles per hour. They create low pressure in their wake, which sucks flying creatures in and then decapitates them, like ISIS terrorists. GOLDEN EAGLES FACE EXTINCTION IN U.S. AS NUMBERS PLUMMET, NEW STUDIES REVEAL By Miriam Raftery January 6, 2012 (San Diego’s East County) – San Diego County’s 48 pairs of nesting golden eagles and even rarer bald eagles could be in peril if proposed industrial-scale wind farms are built. In a press release issued today, Save the Eagles International (STEI) issued a dire warning, providing detailed documentation proving that golden eagles and their nests are disappearing rapidly near wind farms across the U.S. The group also blasted the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service for changing its mission from protecting wildlife to “catering to the interests of an industry” that is a “ruinous one to boot.” Although the studies focused on golden eagles, if no major action is taken, wind turbines’ razor-sharp blades will also threaten the existence of other species, STEI predicts. The international group “solemnly warns the Western States that the biologically-blind policies will cause the extinction of the Golden Eagle, the California Condor, and other species of raptors.” Also at risk are species in Eastern and Central states, such as the Whooping Crane. GOLDEN EAGLES FACE EXTINCTION IN U.S. AS NUMBERS PLUMMET, NEW STUDIES REVEAL \| East County Magazine President Obama has put in place a policy which guarantees the extinction of these birds, if he is not stopped. Green groups applaud him, because they are being paid millions of dollars by big green energy interests to remain silent about this environmental disaster.
