Wind turbines are beautiful, reminds me of future depicted by H. G. Wells in The Sleeper Awakes. And it is today, not in 2100.
Is problem as bad as on DW documentary [1]? Installed Capacity confirms [2] but that's unbelievable. Birds would have much more problem if temperature raises 4°C.

Also, you can paint one out of three windmill blades black to drastically reduce the number of birds who die from it [0] https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/black-wind-turbine-blades-help-birds-avoid-deadly-collisions-180975668/ https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/black-wind-turbine...
