Tule Wind project in East County

– Wildlife protection groups and residents have reacted in horror to the
removal of an active bald eagle nest by a wind developer in Canada, an event
documented on video January 5, just weeks after a photo of the active
pair was taken at the site.
Now ECM has learned that the environmental
documents filed by Iberdrola Renewables for its Tule Wind project in McCain
Valley would allow SDG&E to “remove all existing raptor nests” prior to
construction.
The removal of the bald eagle nest at Haldimand in the Canadian province of Ontario on January 5 was documented on video by the Ontario Wind Resistance group. The removal was done by contractors working for Nextera Energy, leading opponents to dub the company “NextTerror.” The Canadian government authorized the removal despite the fact that the bald eagle is a species of concern in Ontario, because it was within 20 meters of a proposed turbine blade sweep.

The ministry of Canada should hand those vandals from there testicles from the highest trees next to a wind turbine.
Beware of your assumptions. There were reports of seeing a Bald Eagle fleeing the vandalized site with a paint can and a book of matches in its talons. Payback is a MF!
If he flies the St Lawrence I'll get him in my sights and he's a goner for sure, bang he's dead.
This video should be viewed with the same feelings of common-guilt that the old T.V. add that depicted an Indian crying over the litter strewn all over a highway.
Will this act of total irreverence towards nature finally evoke some indignation or awareness by the well- intentioned environmentalists who lobby unabashedly for industrial wind development?
What is the value of trying to save our planet from the ravages of fossil fueled energy, if we render it uninhabitable by wildlife with the substitution?
These images truly are sickening. At what point does corporate profit cease being the principle goal?
Are we affecting climate change or have we adopted energy policy insanity?
Remember Hitchcock's "The Birds"?
Beware the vengeance of mother nature. We are crossing a line wen we subjugate wildlife to corporate profit.
Just use them for target practice.
Saw the movie, every time I'm in the woods I use birds as target practice, especially crows. I go down to central NY every year for the big crow kill. I usually get about a 100 crows a year down there and many more up here when hunting in the woods. Eagles, crows etc it doesn't matter.
