NPR : Wind Farms Blamed for Killing Migrating Bats
I heard this story on the drive into work this morning. Apparently, windfarms in the Appalachians are being blamed for the death of a fair number of migrating bats.
I never knew before this story that bats actually do migrate, I've previously figured that they were strictly territorial creatures. It does go to show you that nothing is perfect, and even "clean" power, if not designed properly, can have unintended effects on the environment.
