11 bald eagles dead per year < 10,000 americans dead per year from atmospheric pollution.(40,000 world wide)
Now take notice of which regions have the highest rate of lung cancer in the US.(they are the brown splotches down the Appalachians)
Now look at where all the dirtiest coal plants are located.

Looks like google hit the jackpot for you.
Union of Concerned Scientists. lulz. I wonder how deep they're digging in the gubmint pockets.
FWIW, those "red" coal burners, that I'm, aware of in the Carolinas and Georgia are, indeed, slated for retirement. The investments required to scrub 'em, would never be returned. The larger MW burners have already been upgraded. Others have been converted to Gas.

Maybe so, but the Tyrant fines oil companies 10,000 dollars

per duck, if found dead in a retention pond near oil wells: yet, the windmills which kill hundreds of protected eagles per year get a pass. Again, this president will go down as the WORST in history. And, considering how bad Carter was, that is saying something.

You've probably seen those photos of Beijing on a bad pollution day. Such days come and go, but the effects of even small amounts of increased pollution may linger in a population for a long time. Several studies have established that different air pollutants reduce people's lifespans.
In a new study, a team of international scientists estimated how many people die each year from the effects of air pollution all over the world. This map shows their numbers.
The map's colors don't actually show absolute numbers of deaths. Instead, they say how many more people in a region died from air pollution in 2000 than in 1850. The colors indicate the number of increased deaths per 386 square miles, an area about the size of Dallas. That means that in the worst parts of northern China and India, there are now 1,000 more deaths from air pollution per Dallas-sized area than there were in 1850.
There are a few places around the world in which air conditions were better in 2000 than they were in 1850. One big improved patch includes the U.S.'s southeastern states, where Antebellum farmers used to burn vegetation to clear the ground, throwing a lot of particulate matter into the air. Improved areas in India and Africa are likely due to climate change, which can alter the rate at which different chemical reactions occur in the air and how the atmosphere circulates.

Put his #### in jail.

If I shot a bald eagle, not that I would, I'd find myself in a lot of trouble. Perhaps I'd serve some jail time, as I should.
Must be nice to get away with every screw up and not held accountable for anything!
