Wind farms could be killing 80,000 bats a year, new study finds

"Dr Fiona Matthews, of Exeter University, who led the research, which was partly funded by the government, said operators should be encouraged to switch turbines off during peak migration and breeding seasons, such as summer nights."

So on hot summer nights no solar or wind power.  ;)
