      wind energy is going to continue increasing exponentially for a while, it would be wise to mitigate the death of more birds. I also support exterminating stray cats and putting harsh fines on folks who keep outside cats as well. Birds need protecting and we are woefully failing as a species to do so.

          Non-native cats are multiple orders of magnitudes worse for bird populations. Non-native lawns mainly effect polinators.
