Problem is, this is patently false. In truth, wind turbines are known to kill around 100,000-300,000 birds per year (I'll give Zinke the highest number at around 300,000). And to be fair, that is a lot. However, birds are clearly more attracted to windows when it comes to killing themselves. More specifically, around 100 million–1 billion of them annually (keeping up with fairness, we'll just say 1 billion).

But let’s forget about windows for a second. What about the cats that we so adore – I especially love cats! – and let into our homes and let free to wander outside for hours on end? Well, according to the American Bird Conservancy, our little feline friends kill as many as 500 million birds annually!

So what exactly are we talking about here? How many birds is Ryan Zinke really saving, all while disrupting positive alternative energy sources, in comparison to the ones he's not saving from both windows and cats?

Birds from turbines in comparison to windows: 0.03%!

Birds from turbines in comparison to cats: 0.06%!

So congratulations, you insufferable Neo-Luddite. You’re officially screwing over our own species – not to mention countless other animal species affected by climate change – all in order to hardly make a dent in the vast ways on how to kill a bird. What would we ever do without you!!??
