European leaders are urged by the current US President, to stop the proliferation of 'windmills' (wind turbines) in their countries. In addition to spoiling the vistas, he claims these electricity-generating devices kill birds (https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jul/27/president-trump-administration-news-updates-today). Wind turbines can certainly endanger migrating flocks. Pet cats, however, kill many more birds. It's also certain that climate change is a bigger threat to bird life than either 'windmills' or cats. Tapping wind power to generate electricity, is certainly much better for the planet than fracking and/or extracting oil. In deed, the US itself could more than fulfil its entire energy requirement by solely depending on available wind power. Tilting at 'windmills' isn't an answer.
