Wireless Providers Building Bird-Safe Cell Phone Towers
Members of America's Wireless industry are working with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to authorize the construction of new cell phone towers that won't slaughter millions of migrating birds every year. They are under pressure to do so because the towers currently sprawled across the U.S., well, do kill millions of birds (between four and five million birds, according to estimates from the US Fish and Wildlife Service).
We know huge corporations are evil. But come on!
The FCC has been directed by a court to figure out "how it will provide notice of pending tower applications that will ensure meaningful public involvement in implementing NEPA procedures." Essentially, if a company wants to build a tower they will now have to prove that it wont hurt birds.
We are sure the wireless companies already have a way to win over local authorities obsessed with wildlife preservation: It's called money. [From: ars.tecnica via Textually]
