On a serious note, the problem with wind turbines is not the total number of birds they strike but the species. Larger birds of prey seem particularly susceptible. Tough this risk can be easily mitigated by not placing the wind turbines directly in their primary habitat or migration paths.
I was going to say, I doubt your pet tabby is killing any California condors at any appreciable rate.
Amazing how easy it is to bias people with data though.
