Proposed new wind farm directly on a migration route (1 Viewer)

I hope to call more attention to this proposed wind turbine project, as it has the potential to harm many of our birdy friend, including our endangered Whip-poor-will.

Wow. People need to learn how to choose their wind turbine projects with more common sense.
1 - Do endangered species live there? Oh they do, well don't put it there.
2 - Is it on a migratory route for bird and/or bat species, the biota most affected by these projects? OH, it IS! Well then definitely don't build it there.

Glad to see Gilead Resources has SO MUCH common sense! Let's hope the Natural Resource minister pulls the plug on this project!

Either way, tell me what you think about this project!
 
I think it is terrible that the gov't would allow such a proposal. I think we all know that corporate greed will outweigh the concern for the endangered species once they have gotten approval.
 
I agree. I'm not sure what the next step should be to stop this, but once I figure it out, I'll let everyone else know what they can do to try to stop this from being built!
