During Thursday's presidential debate, Donald Trump claimed that wind turbines kill "all the birds."
Wind turbines kill about 234,000 birds a year, whereas cats kill 2.4 billion.
North America may have lost nearly 3 billion birds, a quarter of its total bird population, since 1970.
During Thursday's final 2020 presidential debate, President Donald Trump repeated a claim he's made throughout his presidency: that wind turbines are extremely deadly to birds.
"I know more about wind than you do," Trump told former Vice President Joe Biden. "It's extremely expensive, kills all the birds, it's very intermittent, it's got a lot of problems."
Trump is wrong. Although wind turbines do kill some birds every year, they're not responsible for many avian deaths relative to other causes, and they certainly do not kill "all the birds."

Not many are going to get that, I’m afraid.
It takes Trump to get the liberals out fact checking the bleedin’ obvious and claim they finally caught him this time.
Thanks for the picture to support my rational thought.
Here she is, author Susie Neilson. Dirty hippie. Surprised?
You would think even a bird brain reporter could grasp that.
So wait ... 234,000 deaths in the US is OKAY .... because there are more killed by something else? Hmmmm
I cannot tell a lie. I stole it from a FReeper who posted it to another thread about this.
Well, to borrow the COVID lovers’ logic, that’s 200k more than were killed the year before.
Apparently, the leading cause of cat mortality is windows. Who knew?
Oh noes how can I ever vote for Trump now that I know this?
Gloria: “Daddy, do you realize that over 5000 people per year are killed by hand guns?”
Archie: “Would it make youse feel any better little goil if they was pushed outta windows?”
His joke-making skills are for The Birds.
Interesting. I’ve had many cats over the years, and not one of them was STOOOOOOOPID enough to jump out of an upper story window.
Mine are pretty stupid. I could see them accidentally falling from a window.
What if many of those birds were spotted owls? Would she then agree that the windmills should come down?
Cats are natural predators, bird-blender farms are not.
As usual, PDJT is parsed as a politician but we understand exactly what he meant.
Anyone see the mystery videos show, featuring a solar farm?
The people wondered what this mysterious puff of smoke was above a solar panel in a film they made. The consensus?
Solar panels can fry birds.
So add the stupid waste-of-space solar to the wind turbines for kills.
Windmills not only kill birds, the noise chases away wildlife. They generate heat and are a major problem to remove and dispose of at the end of their service life. Lastly, they take a tremendous amount of energy to fabricate.
