"The biggest bird killer in the US (and likely, the world) is #Cats. Outdoor cats kill somewhere between 1.3 billion and 4 billion birds a year in the US alone. Let’s put it this way: for every one bird that dies in the blades of a turbine, domestic cats are dragging roughly 4,000 back to the porch."

@nickrauchen Where is agricultural poison and lack of food and possibilities for nests?

@nickrauchen Wind turbines could even stop within 10 seconds when birds are around. Marginally bad for energy production, but goodwill is guaranteed. Wonder why that feature is not mandatory yet.

@nickrauchen
(1) For "outdoor cats" read "non-imprisoned cats" or simply #cats .
(2) How many rats and other creatures (that you happen to dislike) do they kill?
(3) Yes, I've always thought the wind turbine stories sound like total BS put about by people who are afraid of change.Also, how on earth does one gather reliable data on all of this?
