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.

catswindturbines 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.
But we aren’t planning to install as many wind turbines as there are cats, so you don’t need to directly compare
My point is that the comparison is meaningless
No it isn’t. The rate of birds killed is not important. The NUMBER of birds killed is, and wind turbines are just a rounding error in the number of birds killed. Even if we increased the number of turbines to supply all of the country’s electricity, it would STILL not be anywhere near as many as cats.
