Trump Cracks Down on Bird Deaths, but Only From Wind Turbines

The Trump administration has taken steps to crack down on bird deaths caused by wind turbines, but has been accused of a double standard in its approach. The administration is seeking to limit the liability of wind energy companies for the accidental deaths of protected birds like the bald eagle. However, critics argue that the administration is easing restrictions on oil and gas companies, which also pose a threat to bird populations. The move is seen as an effort to support the fossil fuel industry at the expense of renewable energy sources. Environmentalists have criticized the administration's approach, arguing that it fails to address the broader issue of bird conservation and instead prioritizes political and economic interests. The article highlights the ongoing debate around the environmental impact of different energy sources and the challenges of balancing economic and ecological priorities.
