Capacity of the entire EU divided by capacity of a typical turbine gives 
an estimate of total number of turbines. Not exact, because we don't 
know exactly how many of which types of turbine are installed, but it is 
certainly a good estimate. Multiply that number by the estimated kills 
per turbine and you have an estimate of total kills. And by using 
figures from a recognised authority with a stake in underestimating the 
total, we can be reasonably sure we have not overestimated by much; more 
likely we are greatly under. It's not rocket science. My original 
article here:

The question is, why cannot you and those like you understand such a 
simple argument? What motivates such a bizarre statement as "Kill and 
capacity are not related"? Two different things are related when a valid 
argument relates them, and my argument clearly does so. I have discussed 
the kind of psychological malfunction displayed by global warming 
believers here:
