Slight change in wind turbine speed significantly reduces bat mortality
Since turbine towers and non-spinning turbine blades do not kill bats, some scientists have proposed shutting off or reducing the usage of wind turbines during peak periods of migration in the late summer and early fall months when bat activity and fatalities are highest. In a study online today, researchers examined the effects of changes in wind turbine speed on bat mortality during the low-wind months of late summer and early fall.

Slight change in wind turbine speed significantly reduces bat mortality
labspaces.net — “While wind energy has shown strong potential as a large-scale, emission-free energy source, bat and bird collisions at wind turbines result in thousands of fatalities annually. Migratory bats, such as the hoary bat, are especially at risk for collision with wind turbines as they fly their routes in the forested ridges of the eastern U.S.” View full resource at labspaces.net
