If This Dangerous Bill Passes, Industries can Kill America's Birds Without Question

https://ladyfreethinker.org/dangerous-bill-passes-industries-can-kill-america-without-question/

Environmental groups push back on Cheney amendment allowing birds to be killed; industry supportive

http://trib.com/news/local/education/environmental-groups-push-back-on-cheney-amendment-allowing-birds-to/article_12654dc3-3044-565c-80e3-285a66a4a0fe.html

Congressman Liz Cheney's Amendment Added to SECURE American Energy Act (yes, that Cheney)

https://cheney.house.gov/media/press-releases/congressman-liz-cheneys-amendment-added-secure-american-energy-act


Snow geese fly along the bank of the Berkeley Pit's toxic waters Wednesday flying toward the south rim of the pit. Rep. Liz Cheney introduced legislation to expunge risks to companies that kill birds.    Walter Hinick, The Montana Standard

My opinion: The Oil/Gas/Coal industry fears competition from "green" energy sources, like wind and solar, and has always complained about eagle "take" permits because they are available only to non-hydrocarbon energy installations.

Update: House of Representatives Seeks To Clarify Lack Of Liability for Incidental and Accidental Take under Migratory Bird Treaty Act
(Outrageous! PacifiCorp killed a lot of eagles in Wyoming and had to pay for it. ( http://www.oregonlive.com/business/index.ssf/2014/11/pacificorp_sues_to_block_relea.html ) If this passes, the party's on PacifiCorp!)
