The point their making is that they're both equally irrelevant to the consideration of using wind turbines to generate electricity. Why are we even having a discussion about bird death from wind turbines? That's the important question. It isn't because people and companies suddenly started caring more about animal deaths from electricity production. It's straight up FUD about renewable energy. Articles like this, and discussion about bird deaths from turbines in general, frame the issues as something that must be talked about and discussed before installing wind turbines. As if the status quo is 0 environmental impact. But it's not. The status quo is oil, fossil gas, and coal. All of which have a significantly higher environmental impact, by orders of magnitude, than however many birds do or do not get killed by wind turbines.
