Legal Insurrection by Leslie Eastman 2/8/2026
Wind power may be branded as “clean,” but that label rings hollow when turbines are shredding apex raptors that anchor entire ecosystems.Legal Insurrection has previously reported on the growing record of eagle deaths at wind facilities nationwide, where spinning blades have been tied to dozens of documented bald and golden eagle fatalities and multimillion‑dollar settlements with major wind operators.
Now an Obama-era University of Minnesota wind‑energy research project is under fire after a campus turbine struck and killed a bald eagle, leaving the national symbol gruesomely dismembered beneath the tower.
The University of Minnesota is facing a proposed penalty of over $14,000 after it was discovered that a green energy initiative funded by a grant from the Obama administration was responsible for the gruesome death of an American bald eagle.
The incident occurred at the University of Minnesota’s Eolos Wind Energy Research Field Station in Dakota County, Minnesota.
Photos obtained by Fox News Digital show the moment a University of Minnesota wind turbine struck the bald eagle, dismembering it into three pieces and leaving a bloodied carcass on the floor below.
