Massive Wind Turbine Expansion Puts Golden Eagle on Path to Possible American Extinction as Annual Death Rate Increase Leaps by 50%

Shocking new statistical evidence has emerged that suggests the golden eagle could be on a wind turbine-induced glide path to extinction in the United States. Eagle deaths due to wind turbines in the western US were increasing by around 9% a year from 2013 to 2020, but this annual increase leapt to 13% from 2020 to 2024, a jump of 49% in the annual increase in death rate.
