This project is being rushed without the right regulations in place and that is why it is likely millions of wildlife in this region will die and go extinct. The amount of energy it has to generate isn’t even recorded and allows for the company to set up the project, disrupt the wildlife and natural habitat without promising any amount of electricity to the region. Lawmakers need to postpone this project until it considers the environment and how it’s going to record the amount of birds, seals, and bats that will die. Also what are the parameters of how many can be killed and how often is it recorded.
