Ah yes, the strawman argument... possibility to kill the entire planet vs killing some birds.

In this specific case (regulations on the cooling water temperature) it's killing some fishes vs killing some birds. That seems very comparable to me.

Why wouldn't we require wind turbines to stop when birds are migrating to reduce their environmental externalities?

kill the entire planet? From exceeding a delta-t of 2 degree C in their discharge water?
