Obama administration allows wind farms to kill eagles,
birds, despite federal laws

By Dina Cappiello

Wind farms in this corner of Wyoming have killed more
than four dozen golden eagles since 2009, one of the
deadliest places in the country of its kind.

But so far, the companies operating industrial-sized
turbines here and elsewhere that are killing eagles and
other protected birds have yet to be fined or prosecuted
- even though every death is a criminal violation.

The Obama administration has charged oil companies for
drowning birds in their waste pits, and power companies
for electrocuting birds on power lines.

But the administration has never fined or prosecuted a
wind-energy company, even those that flout the law
repeatedly.
