Just to examine the common claim about wind turbines killing birds -- the number of birds killed by wind turbines is vanishingly small compared to other threats. https://www.fws.gov/library/collections/threats-birds https://www.fws.gov/library/collections/threats-birds 234,012 - Collisions: Land-based wind turbines 6,600,000 - Collisions: Communication towers 72,000,000 - Pesticides & other poisons 214,500,000 - Collision: Vehicles 599,000,000 - Collision: Glass skyscrapers 2,400,000,000 - Predation by cats [Unknown] - Habitat loss and climate change These are just some estimates of some admittedly very difficult to capture data, but the orders of magnitude differences are revealing nonetheless.
