And wind turbine manufacturers would agree:

UK December wind generation: Generation: 2.6 TWh Subsidy/MWh : £86.68 Market Price/MWh: £75.00

Where are these figures from?

Older projects were subsidised much more but around half the current wind capacity has been built from 2016 with far less subsidy.

I'd personally rather a single nuclear power plant replace all the capacity, but honestly, as far as birds go, it'd be a no-op.
Yes, but that would be tempting the gods of irony with the possibility of a nuclear CATastrophe.
It looks like cats in the US only produce about 560 megawatts of heat, so you could probably do it with a single nuclear plant.
