Chris D'Angelo is a senior reporter at HuffPost, based in Maine. He covers public lands, climate change, biodiversity and environmental policy. Prior to joining HuffPost, he wrote for daily newspapers in Hawaii.
with Fox News this week, former President Donald Trump , a climate change denier and unabashed ally of planet-warming fossil fuels, furthered his already-long record of exaggerating the wind industry’s impact on birds.“If you shoot a bald eagle, or an eagle of any kind, they put you in jail for two years,” he told Fox News host Jesse Watters. “Go under a windmill, see how many eagles are under there. Nobody goes to jail.
If Trump wins in 2024, migratory bird protections would likely be back on the chopping block. The newly adopted Republican Party platform, which Trump endorsed, promises to “unleash American energy” and “cut costly and burdensome regulations.”he knows “nothing about Project 2025,” the policy blueprint — a document that at least 140 people who worked in the Trump administration played a role in creating — specifically calls for reinstating the Trump-era MBTA rule.
Make no mistake, doing so would give industry, including wind energy companies, a green light to kill eagles and all manner of migratory birds without legal repercussions.By entering your email and clicking Sign Up, you're agreeing to let us send you customized marketing messages about us and our advertising partners.
