The Trump Department of the Interior is proposing a $32,340 fine against Ørsted Onshore North America after two bald eagles were killed by wind turbines in Nebraska and Illinois, violating the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service noted that Ørsted lacked the necessary permits for such incidents, despite being aware of the risks after the first eagle’s death in March 2024. Ørsted, a Danish clean energy company, plans to respond to the violation notice within 45 days. The agency emphasized the serious nature of these violations, highlighting the cultural significance of bald eagles.
