No doubt, but it'd be a little hypocritical to cite bird and bugs deaths to sway an argument back towards oil, gas, and coal considering their human safety and ecological records. All the same, that terrible oil & gas history is also something that shouldn't be used against itself. The furthering of mankind is built on the tragedies of man. Imagine if they threw in the towel on reaching the moon when the Apollo 1 crew died in the rack at Cape Canaveral.
Not hypocritical when the wind and solar are not being fined for the deaths like oil and gas. Eagle dies in an oil tank, company is fined up to $50,000. Same bird get chopped out of the sky or flash fried by "green energy", no fine. In fact DOHbama signed a rule exempting "green energy" for many years.
