There have been many independent studies of birds killed by rotating blades. (windmills) This undoubtedly happens, but perhaps at a similar or smaller frequency than strikes by a car, against the windows of a building or by grid transmission cables; every death is regretted. The counter-argument, again attested by experts, is that land around wind turbines may provide excellent breeding conditions. The exception to this argument is the possibility of strikes by large migratory birds flying in the dark, or by raptors intent on their prey.

Are you going to insist that windmills have absolutely no negatives, and absolve every other method of producing electricity?
