That's odd because the official eagle foundation that protects eagles discusses thousands of recorded deaths. From the website, "At the infamous Altamont Wind Resource Area alone, more than 2,000 Golden Eagles have been killed by the wind turbines there." : https://eagles.org/take-action/wind-turbine-fatalities/ https://eagles.org/take-action/wind-turbine-fatalities/
So which seems more believable that only 150 eagles died over a decade or thousands? Something is off here. Is anyone even checking properly? You can't have two completely distinct numbers like that.
- qwery 3y agoAre golden eagles bald eagles? Yes, the problem is exaggerated by the eagle people and the fossil fuel people and the nuclear people and simultaneously underreported by the wind energy industry and the renewables people etc. This should not surprise you.
- jacquesm 3y agoI'm sure there is an accurate number that is somewhere between 136 and 'thousands' but I wouldn't trust either the windmill operators or the people that run breeding programs for eagles to report them accurately.
