Wind farms get a free pass for devastating bald eagle populations while ranchers and fishermen get strangled by the Endangered Species Act. The Endangered Species Act Amendments Act finally ends the double standard with reforms that are decades overdue.

@DaveBoulder Industrial wind farms are an ecological atrocity.

Same thing with a coal mine. They get huge fines where wind farms get a pass. The double standard is astounding!

One modern nuclear plant could power all of Cheyenne and more but, no. We have to have more hideous turbines all over the hillsides.

Wind farms get a free pass for devastating bald eagle populations while ranchers and fishermen get strangled and off road areas in Oceano Dunes, CA get closed for the Snowy Plover, a bird, by the Endangered Species Act, Taking humans state land away. The Endangered Species Act Amendments Act finally ends the double standard with reforms that are decades overdue.

Thank you. For anyone who has hiked near wind turbines you know, it will sicken you seeing all the birds that are killed.

When and if Representative Hageman is involved with it…… I am IN IN IN 110%!!! I may need to relocate to the Great State of Wyoming, just so that I can have the opportunity to call her my REPRESENTATIVE.

Trump posted a picture of a FALCON from ISRAEL. Did you not get the memo that it was fake or do you just really want to bring back whaling that badly? You would kill anything if a donation was involved. You are literally advocating for death, by claiming to care about life! 🤯

Cats and buildings kill most birds.

So I noticed you’re a house member. Maybe you are also aware. I suspect the subsidies for wind farms, without which they wouldn’t be built, originate in revenue bills, which in turn must originate in the house. Maybe look into that. And stop requiring utilities to buy wind power.

Commercial wind turbines emit frequencies harmful to wildlife and humans alike

The bald eagle population quadrupled between 2009 and 2019. I can only assume Hageman has trouble with big words like "devastated" and doesn't know what it means. I also note that wind farms kill far fewer birds than buildings, vehicles, or power lines, not to mention house cats.

I think the wind farms are one of the worst decisions ever made. We need to get rid of all of them.

1963……417 known nesting pairs 2021…..71000+ nesting pairs Good chance there are over a quarter million eagles in the lower 48 and it’s increasing significantly every year. Ridiculously stupid hill to fight on.

@Charms19999 My sons, in grade school, did a study on the bird death thing. We visited a couple of wind farms several times. Zero dead birds.

Go to Alaska and visit the Aleutian islands. More Bald Eagles there than the continental U.S.

@ktoby61 Then there are the offshore installations where the dead, disoriented birds just fall into the ocean depths and no one misses them until they don't come back.

@catmrow0 Let's talk about the chem trails too killing off everything ! I've noticed less and less birds even in our area which is a hunting and fishing area. Between the wind farms and chemtrails they are killing off everything.

Help us stop Black Ridge and Lava Run in AZ! They want 200+ turbines in a major fly through. Everything from hummingbirds to eagles fly through this delicate environment.@epaleezeldin @RapidResponse47 @andybiggs4az

You are one of the good ones. We don’t have many. Keep up the good fight and hopefully we wise up and elect a new group for reinforcements. Too many Democrats masquerading as Republicans in Republican districts

this is disingenuous fossil fuel industry propaganda. the ESA has saved 99% of listed species. you only want to change it to enrich fossil fuel companies, which already make billions, and by the nature of their business, irreparably destroy habitat. if you were actually concerned about birds, you’d do something about oil pits, mining tailings and habitat loss.

Not to mention that you can't build windmills or solar UNLESS you have oil. You know, the one thing that is used to make those very things ? Always follow the money. They are stealing from you.

I am sure there is a special place in hell, reserved specifically for you "lady". Yeah those darn endangered species are about as menacing as those darn Canadian's that we also threatened. Seriously? You aren't fighting for the little guys, but your crooked donors for whom honoring life, is only a mild inconvenience to their bottom line. The little guys don't industrial fish HAGMAN and can drive around a whale, much more easily, than they can kill it. Nice try.
