Birds killed by cats tend to be common small birds like sparrows. The wind farms kill eagles, falcons, etc. They also kill millions of bats. As far as the countries that are shown that have high percentage of renewables most of it is from hydro and biomass not wind and solar. The only one that had large amount from wind was Denmark and they have one of the highest cost for electricity. 80 % of Sweden electricity is from hydro and nuclear. If wind and solar is so cheap then you would not need any push to use it. By the way pumped storage is great but you need a couple of large reservoirs and at least where I live in California the environmental folks are pushing to remove existing dams. So I don't know how you are going to get approval to build more dams.
