Birds and wind farms safely share our skies


Manic views with no factual support frequently get rushed into conversations about renewable energy.

Birds and wind farms are generally
 comfortable bedfellows.
One of the favourites is the number of birds killed by the turbines of wind farms and they are frequently exaggerated and with absolutely no factual support.

Climate Progress has looked at this and subsequently produced charts to illustrate that while wind farms do kill birds, the numbers of deaths from turbines is miniscule compared to other forms of energy, primarily coal.

A story headed: “CHART: How Many Birds Are Killed By Wind,Solar, Oil, And Coal?” illustrates the fallacy of any argument about the dangers of wind farms.
