I remember having a discussion about this with a set of hardcore liberal progressive types who wanted to build wind and solar farms every where possible.

Wind farms kill birds, solar farms kill birds, the expansion of high voltage lines into known habitats is not good for birds either.

he might hate obama more than he hates ku. idk.

[sonofdaxjones]

I don't hate Obama. 

What I don't like is all the people who run around touting these so called "green" energy resources and they don't ever stop to think that you can put giant propellers and huge fields of mirrors reflecting the sun out there and not think some thing(s) aren't going to be harmed.

[bubbles4ksu]

it would take an ignorant sonofabitch to not see the extreme hypocrisy of this talking point.

what a dumbass thing to be angry about

I spend about $12k a year bird hunting.  Since 2005 I've seen quail populations on federal land go from pretty darn good to rough ridin' pitiful, some due to energy development.  It makes me sad/angry.  Now we spend our money in MT or SK.

If the feds will stop development for an endangered lizard, they are being bigots towards these poor birds.

the problem here is that it is impossible to put a bird body count on the ubiquitous status quo of burning hydrocarbons

Yeah, pollution tends to have a negative effect on public health as well.

Birds v. Polar bears.   Cage match seems the only reasonable way to settle it.

It should take place on top of a gigantic solar panel beneath the desert sun.

Maybe the populations would be better if there weren't so many gun-nuts out there trying to murder the poor little guys.
