So if bats are
attracted to wind turbines to feed on these insects, they risk being killed
by wind turbines (either from barotrauma or by being struck by a moving
blade).

IF they are attracted to the insects! A more likely scenario is that they are attracted to what looks to them like a very big tree, which could host roosting sites or be a favoured mating site (eg butterflies on hilltops).

Cheers, Chris.
