OK... Forget The Whales (for the moment)

[AlleyCat]

Millions of birds are maimed and killed by wind turbines every single year.

But you'll never hear a word about that on the mainstream media because it goes against the agenda.

If this bird had died as a result of an oil spill, do you think the media would be silent about it?

Got a cite for that...

...because I don't believe you.

The best estimates of the number of birds killed by wind turbines in the
U.S. each year are based on a trio of studies published in 2013 and
2014, all reporting on data from 2012.

Rather than going down the proverbial rabbit hole to decide which study
might be the most accurate, let's take the average of the results from
these studies. This gives us an estimate of approximately 366,000 birds
killed by wind turbines in the U.S. in 2012.

It's important to consider that wind energy capacity has grown
considerably since then. The study by Loss and others reported that
there were 44,577 turbines in operation in 2012, while the U.S. Wind
Turbine Database indicates that there are 65,548 today — an increase of
47 percent. Adjusting for this industry growth, we can project that
approximately 538,000 wind turbine-caused bird deaths occur in the U.S.
each year.

However, projecting mortality based on energy produced is more
frequently used because it accounts for the size of turbines in addition
to their numbers. The American Wind Energy Association reports that
there were 60,067 megawatts (MW) of wind energy capacity in the U.S. in
2012, versus 111,808 as of this writing in 2021 — an 86-percent
increase. Taking this change into account, it can be projected that
approximately 681,000 birds are currently killed by wind turbines in the
U.S. each year.

These estimates likely underestimate the true extent of the problem due
to the fact that many bird fatalities escape human detection.

With wind farms rapidly scaling up across the world, it is hard to find
a measure of the number of birds being killed each year that will still
be accurate, but Joel Merriman, a wind specialist at charity the
American Bird Conservancy, modelled the death rate at the start of 2021.
He accounted for the fact that many of the bird death studies were
published earlier in the decade and the numbers will have increased
since then. He also factored in that many deaths of smaller birds will
escape the notice of studies. Merriman concludes that 1.17 million birds
are killed by wind turbines in the US each year.

"Only" 681,000 birds in just the US, by their estimates, so?

"Merriman concludes that 1.17 million birds are killed by wind turbines
in the US each year."

Whatcha figure the global kill rate is?
