Feds ignore their research on windmills killing eagles
The U.S. Energy Department (DOE) has an ongoing research program on detecting and deterring the killing of eagles and other flying critters by wind turbines.

The states may be taking the wrong approach to stopping the EO.
Attention waste cutters, here's a potentially huge source of regulatory costs.
The fly in the floating wind ointment is the "floater."
Empire is about to start driving the enormous steel monopiles that hold the turbine towers, but a new wrinkle has hit the fan.
Ten so-called environmental groups, including the biggest, have joined the lawsuit filed by a bunch of green States.
The North American Energy Reliability Corporation's (NERC, rhymes with jerk) mission is to keep America's grid reliable which it has clearly failed to do.
The States have not properly considered where this action might lead. In fact they have probably asked the Court for the wrong thing.
About 15 years ago the US Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) determined that the golden eagle population could not withstand an increase in human caused mortality.
The Sears Island floater factory was going to cost a lot of money so Maine applied to the US Transportation Department for a roughly half billion dollars.
The offset is called "compensatory mitigation" which means the wind power facility pays the FWS or their agents to have their eagle killing offset by helping others live someplace else.
Two new studies together imply that the golden eagle wind-kill taking is at the limit or beyond.
The existing battery safety standards are grossly incomplete for the huge grid grid scale battery complexes being recklessly built in large numbers.
The FWS eagle kill data is all a big government secret designed to protect the wind industry from public outrage.
The EO is quite clear in initiating an investigation into terminating these leases.
