Well, you’d think that birds and wildlife would understand not to fly into buildings, but they do - by the boatload. The Empire State Building turns off its main tower lights after midnight or so because migratory birds tend to get attracted to it and fly into the building - resulting in bird kill.

Rinse and repeat for the hundreds of skyscrapers that don’t turn off the lights, and you’ve got a far greater threat to birds.

Which is all the more reason to pursue nuclear technologies - less negative impact on the environment.

Yes, and birds fly into plate-glass windows on regular houses all the time.

Bottom line: As long as humans exist and do shit like build stuff, other creatures are going to die. Not to mention all the meat we eat.

Yuppies crying over dead birds from wind turbines represent the sentimental foolishness of man par excellence.
