Yeah the figures have already been agreed by 99% of scientists and are settled so they aren't allowed to be questioned OK. It used to be controversial in terms of whether a turbine blade should be replaced after 200kg of bird kill or not but with a modern wind turbine some of those blades have got up to 400kg of bird kill before being replaced but 300kg is the current average.

One productive turbine blade managed to kill 36 wedge tailed eagles in a week, wiped the whole population out of the local area, it was very impressive indeed. After their nesting trees were cut down to clear land to construct the wind turbines the wedge tailed eagles had nowhere to go anyway so to the wind turbine suppliers thought they were actually putting the birds out of their misery & they were a worthy sacrifice as there were a couple of great photos of politicians at the opening ceremony which is the most important thing.
