Like you, I'm not against. I feel that there are plenty of missed
opportunities, though. Like making it a legal requirement that new
housing does rainwater capture, and all the other things Roger
suggested, as well as PV and water panels on the roof. Obviously,
there's a cost to this. A bitter pill to swallow in the current housing
market.

Bats; Probably nil. They use sonar, after all. As for birds, less
than get killed by cars each year. All in all, a red herring. All IMO,
of course. I've not seen any evidence either for or against. I don't
watch them a great deal, but there are quite a few wind turbines around
my neck of the woods. By and large, birds seem to avoid them.
