=v= Your oversimplification obscures the situation. It's
not "a few birds" -vs- fossil and/or nuclear and "all of the
other birds." It's threatened and endangered birds, which by
definition means that the loss of "a few" could be devastating
to the species and damaging to their habitats -vs- locating
windmills in a more ecologically benign location.
=v= It is in no way inherent to wind power that it must be
sited in the migration paths of threatened and endangered
species.
