No matter what you do, which source of energy you go for, there is a downside.

Uh, not quite. Do a google and you will find lots of stats that show that a bird has a *lot* more to worry about than turbines: cats, lit buildings, power lines, pesticides, cars, and other things that kill birds all rate far higher in mortality than turbines.
In the long run, wind turbines are probably safer for birds that a lot of other forms of electrical generation.
