Coal powered stations  don't kill birds.

Birds only get killed if they fly into the propeller; if that is enough reason to stop using wind turbines then we should also ground all planes as they often suck a bird in their engines, and what about cars, how many birds and other wildlife gets killed on the roads?  And birds also hit powerlines ........

Actually thinking about all forms of electricity generation (except solar) , none are very safe, all are use turbines  and all cost heaps:

1- hydro - you need vast tract of land, then to build dam costs a small fortune, and it needs to be well kept as failure would devastate anything bellow.

2- burning brown coal - is the dirtiest  way, it causes long term respiratory & other health problems in people living in surrounding areas

3- wind - besides the unproven ill health effect and the odd dead bird,  has not real downside except the fact that it does not work without wind.
