Bigger swept area really drives the returns on turbines. Plus, the monster ones don't have to turn nearly as fast to do an equivalent amount of work, so the danger to birds and bats is reduced further. Not like wind farms will ever come close to domestic cats in terms bird mortality (over four orders of magnitude) but it shoots down yet another objection from the haters.
