Subject: A big win for birds today in New York State

Nice. We obviously are in need of alternate forms of energy production right now but not at the cost of these lives and habitats. There are many other suitable locations out there and hopefully these companies will continue to look for locations that do not cause such a negative impact on the wildlife population.

wind developer of the proposed Galloo Is. Wind Project withdrew its application.
This would have been a terrible wind energy location for birds, perhaps the
worst in North America in that the project was only a mile from the largest
inland seabird colony in eastern US (Little Galloo Island). The wind developer
had barely considered this colony in their avian risk assessment and was seeking
a permit to kill ~185 Bald Eagles over the next ten years. The application
likely was withdrawn because the outcome was not looking good for the developer
on multiple fronts. Kudos to the folks in the north country who fought the good
fight on this one - challenging times to oppose wind energy when the climate is
going to hell.
