@Sheril while agreeing with the basic premise (wind turbines kill a suprisinglow number of birds) I do wonder if we are ignoring the "quality" when we just look at the quantity. I would imagine that cats mainly catch small, very common birds (sparrows, etc) while the wind turbines may kill a larger proportion of the bigger and more endagered species (birds of prey and the like).
Would be nice if there are numbers to back me up or prove me wrong.

Some interesting solution proposals:
Make the rubines more visible to birds:

Or swiutch them off when a (big, valuable) bird approaches (either detecting the transponder endagered specias carry or using a radar+AI system)
