Are Wind Turbines Huge Bird Killers?

Donald Trump doesn't like wind turbines (that produce clean renewable energy). He wants his buddies in the fossil fuel industry to keep making huge profits. His problem is that the nation needs to move to clean and renewable energy to reduce the carbon dioxide causing global climate change.

Trump has denied global warming (global climate change) is happening, but most people don't believe him. A significant majority of Americans know the truth -- that global warming is happening, and it's caused by human overuse and misuse of fossil fuels.

So he has now come up with another excuse for opposing wind turbines. He is claiming that those wind turbines are a huge killer of birds. The chart above (using data from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service) shows Trump is again lying.

Wind turbines do kill a few birds, but nowhere near the number killed by other causes -- and wind turbines do not kill enough to put birds in danger of extinction. This is a false argument.
