"The paper provides two examples: one relates to a calculation of avian fatalities across wind electricity, fossil-fueled, and nuclear power systems in the entire United States. It estimates that wind farms are responsible for roughly 0.27 avian fatalities per gigawatt-hour (GWh) of electricity while nuclear power plants involve 0.6 fatalities per GWh and fossilfueled power stations are responsible for about 9.4 fatalities per GWh. This means that
wind farm-related avian fatalities equated to approximately 46,000 birds in the United States in 2009, but
nuclear power plants killed about 460,000 and fossil-fueled power plants 24 million."
