There is ongoing discussion in conservation research about birds colliding with turbine blades, especially in certain migratory routes or near tall structures. While wind energy is environmentally beneficial in many ways, turbine-related bird deaths are a documented concern, and estimates s......Login to view full explanation

Is this a real article (written by a journalist to a newspaper) or fake (written by a computer or a troll factory)? Also indicate the veracity of the information by choosing false, partly true or true.Wind energy bird mortality secrets September 17, 2019 – Jim Wiegand When the wind energy industry was in its infancy, I was fresh out of college and studying raptors—eagles, hawks and falcons—near Altamont, California. I didn’t think much about the wind turbines, aside from thinking they were an eyesore. That changed when the data began to emerge about how wind turbines annually kill millions of birds and thousands of raptors—the birds I have spent my life trying to save. Every time I see a wind turbine now, it reminds me that this industry is an affront to nearly everything I stand for. Since 1995 many thousands of eagles have been collected from wind farm freezers by U.S. Fish and Wildlife and then shipped off to Denver’s eagle repository. My estimate is that over 30,000 eagle carcasses have been picked up from wind farms since 1995. Across the world dozens of endangered species are being pushed to extinction from wind turbines. The policy that has helped advance the industry is called the federal Production Tax Credit, and it has poured billions of taxpayer dollars to fuel the rapid building of wind turbines across the country. It’s time to end the PTC. The PTC is set to expire at the end of this year. But wind energy proponents, ignoring the effects of wind turbines on birds, are already pushing Congress to renew this subsidy. Taxpayer advocates have the right to be upset about this. But what concerns me most is that the extension of the PTC will continue to fuel the deaths of millions of birds while pretending to help save the planet.
