LETTER: Whales, toads and green energy

In your April 1 editorial “Croaking a green energy project,” we have the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service putting the Dixie Valley toad on the endangered species list, which puts a halt to a needed geothermal project.

On the other hand, whales in the north Atlantic off the coast of the eastern United States are dying because of the sonic interference with the whale navigation system caused by the windmill projects being installed there.

Does anyone else see the irony here? Do the toads require more protection than the Earth’s largest mammal? I guess this puts into perspective the deranged views of the whole “green power” movement.
