Re: Wind Turbines and Bats

About right forfi, we have Pipistrels and Horseshoe bats here and a delight they are.
I must confess that I am surprised at the suggestion that wind turbines can harm them. The local eyesores never seem to be moving when bats are flying and wouldn't think that bats would be flying in the wind speeds that get the turbines moving.
Not that more than two out of three ever seem to be working at one time.
A great big con!
Now this is a renewable source that does make sense
