A green energy company has pleaded guilty after it was
discovered that 150 Bald Eagles have been killed by their wind farms.
The Bald Eagle is the symbol of America and they are a
protected species. Killing them is a serious crime.
Do you remember a few years ago when Trump suggested that
this could happen and people on the left scoffed at him?
FOX Business reports:
Wind energy company kills 150 bald eagles in US, pleads guilty
A subsidiary of one of the largest U.S.
providers of renewable energy pleaded guilty to criminal charges and was
ordered to pay over $8 million in fines and restitution after at least 150 bald
eagles were killed at its wind farms in eight states, federal prosecutors said
Wednesday.
NextEra Energy subsidiary ESI Energy was also
sentenced to five years probation after being charged with three counts of
violating the Migratory Bird Treaty Act during a court appearance in Cheyenne,
Wyoming. The charges arose from the deaths of nine bald eagles at three wind
farms in Wyoming and New Mexico.
In addition to those deaths, the company
acknowledged the deaths of golden and bald eagles at 50 wind farms affiliated
with ESI and NextEra since 2012, prosecutors said. Birds were killed in eight
states: Wyoming, California, New Mexico, North Dakota, Colorado, Michigan,
Arizona and Illinois.
NextEra, based in Juno Beach, Florida, bills
itself as the world’s largest utility company by market value. It has more than
100 wind farms in the U.S. and Canada and also generates natural gas, nuclear
and solar power.
This is perfect sarcasm:
A lot of people think you're not allowed to kill bald eagles, but you are. You just have to pay $53,333 for each one. And you have to make sure you kill them with a wind turbine. Because it's necessary to kill eagles to save them from climate change.

Once again, Trump was right.
