Hidden toll: Federal secrecy shields wind industry’s eagle deaths to protect land-hungry turbines that yield minimal power
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) maintains a secretive database on eagle and bird fatalities caused by wind turbines, with public access heavily restricted. This lack of transparency shields the wind industry from scrutiny and conceals the true impact on avian populations. Federal permits allow wind operators to legally kill a specific number of […]

California’s gas prices: A crisis of its own making, USC study finds
A USC study led by Professor Michael Mische finds California’s high gas prices stem primarily from state policies, not oil industry “price gouging,” contradicting Governor Newsom’s claims. Stringent environmental regulations (adding ~51¢/gallon), the nation’s highest excise taxes (59.7¢/gallon), refinery closures (down 70% since 1984) and high operational costs collectively inflate prices. Newsom blames oil companies, […]
