There are not as many wind turbines as there are cats in the US. You need some kind of normalization otherwise it's not telling you what is the impact of installing a new wind turbine farm.

Also there is a chance that birds killed by cats were already weak and soon to die.

2400000000 / 58000000 ~ 41. 234000 / 70000 ~ 3. If we talking about preserving birds I would still address the cat issue before the wind turbine issue.

Also there is a chance that birds killed by ~~cats~~ windturbines were already weak and soon to die.

Don't take the above sentence seriously. It's just to show that arguments that seem nice might not hold their value at second glance.

I for one fully support never allowing cats outside unless they have a wind turbine attached to them.
