Your own source says that 1000x more birds are killed by windows. Turbines are a fraction of a percent of human caused bird deaths. Not really a reason to stop making wind turbines. Climate change would be much more disastrous for the birds.

I'm not saying it's a reason to stop making them, but to say they're entirely without negative environmental impact seems disingenuous.
