Good level headed article. Doesn't pretend wind turbines don't kill birds, but relativizes with the true killers: cats, windows and climate change (from which wind turbines are a remedy).
Yes, and well written too. It was easy to read, and not too long.
Came here to make some smart-ass comment, but the article already says it all. One additional thing I've read though is that rat poison (used by farmers) is also a major killer for birds-of-prey. But it may be a local problem.
