   You know that "windmills kill birds" crap?
   That's part of the fossil fuel industry's smear campaign against clean wind energy.

   "A study to be published in 2024 found that wind farms had no statistically significant effect on bird counts. But another kind of energy did. Fracking reduced the total number of birds counted in near shale and oil production sites by 15%."
