The Spanish government is proposing to dismantle wind turbines that have had collisions with protected birds three or more times in five years. Officially, 9,000 birds die annually in Spain from collisions, with unofficial estimates being much higher. Wind farms must also implement scheduled shutdowns to reduce bat mortality by preventing turbine blades from rotating at speeds less than or equal to six meters per second at hub height at night from July to October, when weather conditions allow bats to fly. The government aims to limit the expansion of green energy, which recently led to a blackout in Spain. However, the lobby is strong, and these efforts may not succeed.
