Wind turbines aren't built in virgin forests either. They're generally in farmland, which is pretty well ecologically destroyed already.

In California they seem to go just about anywhere. Sure not virgin forest, but maybe native savannah?

I never claimed that they were, and bats and birds are prevalent in farmland.
