This is quite hard for me to believe, got a link? Wind isn't highly concentrated energy, short of a violent storm. The windmill extracts energy from the wind or it would not work. It seems unlikely there is enough pressure to crush an animal with a very small surface area.
I once read you can hit a bat by swinging a stick in the air, but it never worked for me when I tried in my more mischievous days.
Now, as a sort of penance, I have two bat houses on the sides of my house.
Sorry, don’t have a link. My BiL is a retired research engineer, rather famous for his nuclear rocket fuel work. He started studying wind turbines after a wind farm went in behind his house and has testified before the Idaho State Legislature on the issue. He’s the one who gave me the information.

Do the rotating blades possibly disrupt the bat’s radar system?
