Sage-Grouse and Wind Energy: Biology, Habits, and Potential Effects from Development

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/962840· OSTI ID:962840
Proposed development of domestic energy resources, including wind energy, is expected to impact the sagebrush steppe ecosystem in the western United States. The greater sage-grouse relies on habitats within this ecosystem for survival, yet very little is known about how wind energy development may affect sage-grouse. The purpose of this report is to inform organizations of the impacts wind energy development could have on greater sage-grouse populations and identify information needed to fill gaps in knowledge.
