And it doesn’t seem to be limited to problems in Pennsylvania. Here’s a report about a wind farm in Canada:

Within 3/4 of a mile from the shores of Cape Vincent there already is an operational 86 turbine wind power plant on Wolfe Island, Canada. The Wolfe Island post construction bat mortality report determined that an estimated 1720 bats are killed per turbine per year. Cape Vincent can expect the same numbers because of similar habitat and shared species with Wolfe Island.

Probably helps to check the map first before building:
