“Windmills Kill Birds?” Take a Look at These Statistics…
- Approx. 1 bird is killed yearly by each of the U.K.’s wind turbines.
- Of the annual bird casualties in the United States, 57 million are from cars, and 97.5 million from hitting plate glass windows.
And besides, couldn’t you just fit cages to the windmills, in a similar manner to household fans, to prevent the birds from running into the blades?
So if you want to save the birds, stop driving your car and get rid of your windows (and buy a Mac).
