New Permits Could Harm Eagles

The article is here.

What this article talks about is a permit that the United States is moving forward on passing, which would allow builders of wind farms and other projects to last longer, and still have accidental eagle deaths. So, why is this such a problem? The eagle is a symbol of our country. They are endangered animals. But, no matter what animal it is, we do not want to allow too many accidental deaths. The problem is that we, as a human race, are expanding and needing more energy to run our usual lives. This means that we need to dip into the environment's pool of available space and habitats to make room for us. This is how eagles, and other animals, are accidentally killed due to the expansionism of people.

What do I think about this? I'll be honest, I am not one of the people who freaks out every time a tree is cut down, or an animal is killed. I am not saying, in any way, that I am against environmentalism. I think that there are ways for us to expand and get the resources that we need, while at the same time preserving the environment. The land that we live on deserves our respect, and we need to make sure and try to keep it as safe as possible. The eagle is a special symbol of our country. However, in this article it also talks about how these projects need to come up with plans to try and minimize accidental eagle deaths. I think that if we do our best, and continually revise plans to save eagles, and other animals, then we can expand. To a point. We need the environment we live on as much as we need the space for new energy projects. Expanding can be necessary, but I think that as many innovations as possible, to conserve space and help produce more energy efficiently, should be the direction that we head.
