Obama doesn’t punish wind industry for bird deaths, goes after oil companies


Federally protected birds killed by oil companies are treated differently than those killed by wind turbines, according to The Associated Press.
An AP investigation found that the Obama administration has been protecting the wind industry from being punished under federal wildlife laws as the Wildlife Society Bulletin estimates that more than 573,000 birds are killed by wind turbines each year. Under the Obama administration no wind energy company has ever been prosecuted.

Elections have consequences. People do not seem to appreciate how thoroughly the official attitude of any presidential administration permeates the upper levels of the bureaucracy in Washington.

Whether it is the IRS or the US Fish and Wildlife Service, it happens.

Same is true in Albany. But there, it may be the case that BP has carried a good joke too far.
