I wonder what paint job would best prevent birds from being destroyed by this. It looks like sometimes one blade is painted black for this purpose.
How do bird deaths from wind turbines compare to other manmade objects?

Why are these questions always in wind turbine posts before anything els?
How does eating meat factor into this?
Because it's better to worry about it and try to mitigate at the beginning, than wait until there is too much inertia, sunken costs, vested interests and institutional pushback. Some things become too hard to fix if you start wrong.
7 times as many are killed by cell towers, 80x as many by cars, and up to 1000x as many by cats. Maybe they should put cat ears on turbines and people would be fine with them.

They are not.
And stop destroying their habitat, and changing the climate which is destroying their migratory air currents and on-route stop-overs.
TLDR: there are plenty of direct and indirect things that cause a _lot_ more bird deaths. Don't let perfect get in the way of good.
