"Ask most people, and the image of wind turbines as bird killers still persists, often amplified by anti-renewable rhetoric. But if you look at the hard data, a different story emerges. It turns out that while wind turbines do kill birds, they are statistically insignificant compared to the bigger killers we have in our cities and in our bedrooms. In fact, when you factor in climate change, wind power might actually help birds."
Data not only shows the relative impact of wind turbines on bird deaths, but also gives us the insight to reduce their impact further.
The Myth That Wind Farms Are a Guillotine for Birds Is Being Debunked by Hard Data
The harm caused by wind turbines isn't nearly as bad as you think.

@vitskapsdama I always had a suspicion that even just windows on houses alone kill more birds than all kinds of renewables added together. Yet the same people aren't campaigning to build houses without windows.

@nazokiyoubinbou A lot of people in Norway that are against wind turbines are typically NIMBYs, they just don't want to see them from their house or when they're out and about. They know that "they are ugly" doesn't convince.
