Wind project threatens eagles: concerned citizens can send comments via e-mail
By Miriam Raftery
October 13, 2016 (San Diego)—The State Lands Commission is scheduled to vote today on leasing 640 acres of state land for the controversial Tule Wind project in McCain Valley for 40 years. The meeting is set for 1p.m. today at the Sheraton Hotel in San Diego near the airport.
This project is one of a larger project on federal lands that will lead to injury and deaths for eagles, environmentalists warn. Opponents urge concerned citizens to ask the Commission to vote no or delay voting until and unless U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service grants an eagle take permit and until litigation is resolved.

Tule Wind has drawn strong opposition from residents and environmental groups including the Protect Our Communities Foundation, Desert Protective Council, Audobon Society, and Backcountry Against Dumps, all of which plan to send representatives to speak in opposition.
