It seems the pressure drop at the blades of these monstosities is killing the poor blighters.

Greenies, never happy. If it's not global warming there on about it wind turbines killing bats.....ever get the impression that they actually want zero progress and for us all to live in caves again?

[Lee_sec]

Won't living in caves mean that the bats, bears and any other cave dwelling creatures would be without a home though?

I doubt this will be the final nail in the coffin for wind turbines though.

The future is nuclear power, I tell you.

Weirdo

Naked women pushing sticks into themselves make me smile.
Bats are small nocturnal mammals.

And because they didn't want Nuclear Power we used coal......which they claim has caused MMGW......why does anyone listen to these cock sockets?

Nuclear is the only answer. Or green activist fired power stations

Because they actually believe what people tell them in focus groups. I've been in focus groups, everyone lies because they're trying to impress the pretty blonde girl whose asking the questions.

Q: Do you care about the environment?

A: "Yes passionately, see I'm sensitive and caring, now can I bum you later"

We have one fly round our garden most evenings. We call him "Batty".

He had a mate fly round with him last summer. We called her "Nora".

Well we thought it amusing, anyway.

I was out wlaking at night once when a bat actually flew, at rather high speed, into my face. I am not ashamed to say that I screamed like a girl. Doesn't mean I don't like them, its just that having one in your face is not pleasant.

[Thudd]

Can't they put a stupid big mesh guard on them like on a desk fan?

How many species have survived all our best attempts thus far to kill them off with industry, power generation, dams, aeroplanes, mining, quarrying and all the other evil things we do? Quite a few I'd say. Bats, for example, seem to have coped ok. Until now when our best attempts to be "green" actually turn out to be damaging to something else other than the environment. Frankly the post above about us having to return to caves to satisfy these idiotic green numpties is spot on. Do they really think that as a race we can collectively outwit the whole of nature? Of course we can't.

Yep. Hey, let's grow biofuels! Oh no, now the world is starving!
