Original Note:
Context for claims of bird deaths from wind turbines: Turbines result in 35x fewer bird deaths per unit of energy than the fossil fuels they replace. Fossil fuels kill 9.36 birds per gigawatt-hour of electricity, while wind turbines kill only 0.269 birds per gigawatt-hour. https://climate.mit.edu/ask-mit/do-wind-turbines-kill-birds https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0960148112000857?via%3Dihub
