Fatal Attraction: Birds and Wind Turbines | KQED QUEST
With California's ambitious renewable energy goal, the state needs wind power. But California's largest wind farm cluster at Altamont Pass unintentionally kills golden eagles, burrowing owls and other threatened birds.
KQED's QUEST investigates the wind companies, scientists and environmentalists who are working to bird-proof these massive wind farms.
For an update on wind energy and birds in the Altamont Pass, watch this KQED QUEST video from 2015: • Wind Energy vs. Golden Eagles - KQED QUEST
