Wind turbines can indeed have negative impacts on some species of bats. One of the main concerns is collision risk, as bats can collide with the spinning blades of the turbines and be killed or injured. Another concern is habitat loss, as wind farms can sometimes be located in areas with significant bat habitats, leading to destruction or fragmentation of these habitats. Several species of bats are considered to be threatened, including some that are particularly vulnerable to the impacts of wind turbines. For example, the hoary bat, the silver-haired bat, and the eastern red bat are all species that
