Turbines killing birds is just nonsense that global warming deniers and NIMBYs say. Wind turbines kill fewer bird than fossil fuel power stations so even if these people really did care about birds they're better.

But we can tell they don't care about bird because they don't complain about glass buildings, cars, power lines or cats, all of which kill more birds than wind turbines.

While I agree, and assuming those numbers are correct it is a huge win, this doesn't mean we can't continue to improve over current technology.
