they grind up birds like no tomorrow.
From what (admittedly little) I know, the current turbines pose no significant threat to birds. Unlike older turbines, the new ones have large propellers that move relatively slowly, and tests have shown them to be easily detectable and avoidable by birds. I remember reading that many more birds die flying into glass windows on large buildings than by flying into wind turbines. If it's any indication, my brother is an ornithologist and changed his stance a few years back to support wind turbines.
What effect did he have on politics, economics, the environment, diplomacy, transport, health...?

He may have had a huge effect on the music industry, but he didn't have much effect on the rest of the world - which amounts to quite a lot.
No, in fact he had a huge effect on the rest of the world. Even though his popularity had waned somewhat in the US, he was still enormously popular in Japan and many other places.
