RE: https://mastodon.social/@ASegar/117038965891949888 I'm old enough to remember when the first amendment protected free association, and when the Supreme Court Counterman decision limited what counts as a "true threat."

Bird fatalities drop by 72% when one rotor of wind turbine is painted black. #windturbines #greenenergy #birds https://www.ecoportal.net/en/painting-norwegian-island-black-turbine-blade-white-tailed-eagles/29212/

Painting 1 of 3 rotor blades black on 4 Norwegian turbines cut bird collisions by nearly 72 percent, and the white tailed eagles under them stopped hitting the rotors altogether
