So they are guilty of it too? This is just cases about directly killing birds btw. Fossil fuels still contribute to killing all sorts of nature well past these incidents. Or did you fall for "clean coal"
Yes I'm not very informed on birds, but I've seen you bring it up repeatedly as if someway it negates every other perk to green power. I am surprised the penalties have been this high.
Kill birds = $100 million
destroy economy = few billion here and there
