Minnesota Wind Madness. Offshore Turbines in Vermont? Public Land Giveaway in Southern California. Sun. 6/10/2012 7pm ET Wind Wise Radio:

Minnesota — Vermont — California

Conflict in Minnesota — Accusations of eagle baiting and harrassment have been thrown around and ended up in court and the news. We will be speaking with Mary Hartman and Kristi Rosenquist about the latest with the AWA Goodhue wind project.

Just this week, Westwood, the “wildlife biologists” hired to study the bat and bird populations for the Goodhue project celebrated their 9th year of attendance at the huge, national WindPower convention. According to their website you could visit them at booth #7225 and “have a drink!”

These are the same fine folks whose original “study” found zero eagle presence in the site area.  After the good citizens in the impacted area submitted photographic evidence to the public utility commission, the commission sent Westwood back to the drawing board.  They are now working with the Fish and Wildlife Service to get a take permit to kill some of these “non-existent” eagles.
