flag Onshore wind turbines kill hundreds of thousands of bats yearly, threatening species and ecosystems, a Nature study finds.

flag A new Nature study reveals onshore wind turbines cause significant wildlife harm, killing hundreds of thousands of bats annually in the U.S. and other nations, with species like hoary bats and golden eagles at high risk. flag The report highlights broader ecosystem impacts, including altered microclimates and reduced earthworm populations due to turbine vibrations, and warns of potential local extinctions. flag While wind energy is vital for climate goals, the study stresses the need for careful planning to avoid untested cumulative ecological damage as expansion continues under net-zero policies.
