FACT: Wind Turbines Have Minimal Impacts on Bird and Bat Populations

Wind and solar developers routinely follow a regimented, science-based protocol to evaluate sites for risks to species and their habitats and to mitigate any potential impacts, which include coordinating with the appropriate subject matter experts at state and federal wildlife agencies. Learn more in APA’s response to Senate Bill 819 (Kolkhorst).
