Belfry Bats? Not for Long!!

We know about the "green" windmills' murder-rate on birds, particularly small ones (songbirds.)

Turns out they're also eliminating the bat population.

...New evidence indicates that millions of bats are being slaughtered every year by wind turbines.

This astonishing figure of wildlife massacre arises from a reasonable extrapolation of casualty numbers collected by a group of German zoologists. Their data cover a number of years, and more specifically a recent two-month detailed survey at a wind farm near Berlin. Germany has nearly 30,000 onshore wind turbines, and the researchers suggested their findings translated to 200,000 bat fatalities every year in that country alone. Land-based wind turbines are common across many parts of the world, and a total figure running into millions is possible....

The mosquitos of the world are very happy, of course.
