EXCLUSIVE:<\/strong> The University of Minnesota<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n

The incident occurred at the University of Minnesota\u2019s Eolos Wind Energy Research Field Station in Dakota County, Minnesota.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

A violation notice says the university violated the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act<\/a> by killing the eagles without what is called an “incidental take permit.” As such, the university is facing a proposed civil penalty of $14,536 for illegally killing what one Department of the Interior official called a “national treasure.”<\/p>\n

According to a Department of the Interior violation notice reviewed by Fox News Digital, the university was aware that bird collisions were a danger and was in the process of testing its collision detection sensors when the incident occurred.<\/p>\n

The eagle\u2019s remains were discovered in pieces. The lower torso and tail were found by technicians first, while the head and wings were not found until over a month later.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Following the incident, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service sent the university a letter, urging the institution to reassess the turbine\u2019s danger to eagles and to consider applying for a long-term permit for incidental take of eagles. However, the January notice of violation issued by the DOI does not indicate that the university has since obtained any such permit.<\/p>\n

The Minnesota turbine is a part of the university\u2019s Eolos Wind Energy Research Consortium, a wind-energy research collaboration. The construction of the turbine was funded by a $7.9 million grant from the Obama Department of Energy awarded in 2010, according to local outlet the Minnesota Daily.<\/p>\n

One of former President Barack Obama<\/a>\u2019s first major legislative achievements was the passage of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), which according to a report by the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions, appropriated an “unprecedented $90 billion to \u2018lay the foundation for a clean energy economy of the future,\u2019 of which the U.S. Department of Energy received $35.2 billion.”<\/p>\n

The Minnesota incident is not the only such killing to have occurred in recent years.<\/p>\n

In November, Fox News Digital reported on FWS proposing hefty fines on renewable energy company \u00d8rsted Onshore North America for two bald eagle kills<\/a> by wind turbines in Nebraska and Illinois. In January, FWS issued notice of finalized fines of a total of $32,340 for the two eagles killed by \u00d8rsted turbines.<\/p>\n

TRUMP ADMIN PAUSING ALL OFF SHORE WIND PROJECT CONSTRUCTION DUE TO NATIONAL SECURITY CONCERNS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

U.S. Secretary of Interior Doug Burgum<\/a> has previously criticized solar and wind projects, saying they are “destabilizing our grid and driving up prices.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

“When you think about the green new scam, it was pro-China, and it’s anti-American, and it’s also unaffordable and unreliable,” Burgum said on Jesse Watters Primetime<\/u><\/a> in June.<\/p>\n

Matthew Middleton, a spokesperson for DOI, commented on the killings, telling Fox News Digital that under President Donald Trump<\/a> and Secretary Doug Burgum, the department “is enforcing the law to protect these iconic birds and demand accountability from an industry that has jeopardized these protected species.”<\/p>\n

“America\u2019s bald eagles are a national treasure, not collateral damage for costly wind experiments,” said Middleton, adding, “Wind companies will no longer get a free pass as this administration safeguards bald eagles and advances energy policies that prioritize affordability and strengthen America\u2019s economy.”<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for the University of Minnesota confirmed to Fox News Digital that the university had received DOI’s notice and said it is “currently under review.”<\/p>\n

\u00d8rsted did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
