Proponents are missing a huge benefit here.

Feed the shredded poultry downstream to the starving victims of the Baraqqi Depression.

Give the bats time to adapt to the change in their environment...Darwinism in action. Eventually, the smart bats will avoid death by windmill. Dumb ones will still die, like they do now. It’s evolution.

Same bat time. Same bat breakfast.

what people don't get is that eventually enough of them will be spinning and will propel the earth in reverse orbit. Then we'll talk about anthropomorphic thingamijigs.

College hippies **** up everything they touch. What a joke.

[Sacajaweau]

Doesn’t make a lot of sense. Bats aren’t free flying like birds. They gather....barns, houses, caves...

I'm actually more concerned with atmospheric effects. If you sir up the air a few hundred feet up, what will be the downwind result.

It’s a shame that they didn’t get Pelosi, Helen Thomas, Sheila Jackson Lee, Maxine Waters, Barbara Boxer and Justice Ginsberg, all members of the “Old Bats Society” (affectionately known as the “Old BS”.

They claim anecdotally in China that it affect local weather to a high degree, in that case causing droughts. It needs to be investigated.

Unintended consequences of liberal policy, volume 3,463,547.

Ping.

Quite a vortex generated by the leading turbines. I am curious about efficacy of the turbines in the wake of those vortices.

[MediaMole]

They also mess with weather radar, which could cost human lives.

[Deaf Smith]

This sounds like a job for the Dark Knight.

Thanx for the ping Army Air Corps !

 

Beam me to Planet Gore !

Dumb bats eat just as many pest insects as smart bats. Why would you want any bats to die needlessly?

You haven't succumbed to this earth-worshipping, tree-hugging, wind-power crap, have ya?

Doesn’t make a lot of sense. Bats aren’t free flying like birds. They gather....barns, houses, caves...

... and other crevices in buildings.

A few years ago, up the street from me was an impressive bat colony. Its location was in a crack between two commercial buildings, right behind a well-lit billboard. That illuminated billboard attracted plenty of flying insects every night, and the bats had a feast.

I suppose someone thought the bats were a nuisance and called an exterminator, and now... no more bats.

"And a lot more expensive tomatoes."

Demand for tomatoes will drop precipitously as the human population suffers through increases in malaria, west nile virus, yellow fever and other mosquito borne diseases.
