This guy Ash who began his stellar career in rewriting rules to protect ecosystems via the
National Wildlife Refuge System Improvement Act. http://bioscience.oxfordjournals.org/content/56/2/135.full
He is now perfectly ok with killing off America's wildlife symbols, and in increasing larger numbers.
Hate to say this word here, but he has become a political prostitute and a hack.
It never ceases to amaze me that between the fried birds over the major solar arrays and the bird hash near windmills this happened back in 2011: Oil companies charged in ND migratory bird deaths
https://www.yahoo.com/news/oil-companies-charged-nd-migratory-bird-deaths-213924170.htmlSome 7000 drilling and production locations were surveyed to find the 28 birds.
A judge later threw it out.
Oil companies no longer use open 'reserve pits' while drilling, but more expensive solids separation equipment, landfills for cuttings, and liquids are all kept in either the rig's mud tanks or 400 bbl uprights.
