Wind turbines are killing many thousands of bats in North America and contributing to a population decline that may be costing agriculture billions, researchers have claimed.

Hilarious. The do-gooders are destroying the planet.
On the plus side of this, now we know what some of those KFC pieces really are. Thank you. eco-nuts.
As they say, the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
Leftists, and their unintended consequences once again.
Without bats to fill their cranial cavities, their heads will be shaped like raisins.
....but the plus is they will be easier to identify.
Are the wind farms killing any moonbats?

IMHO, these windmills are a piss poor way to pimp the passage of Cap and Tax laws. Billboards with a bunch of Algore’s maggot-infested hippies saying, “We Want Your Money” would have been a lot safer. For the bats anyway.
I am glad I don’t live near any the insect population must be growing.
I was thinking the same thing. A reduction in the bat population will facilitate a rise in mosquito-borne diseases.
“A reduction in the bat population will facilitate a rise in mosquito-borne diseases.”
DDT can solve this problem.
Yes I can’t understand why the govt doesn’t publicize this very significant benefit of wind turbines:
shredded poultry for the starving victims of the Baraqqi Depression
In that case, the recipients of the mosquitos will likely be those who demanded windmills in their state, right?
Probably not. Nothing says "NIMBY" more than wind farms. Liberals like to lobby hard for them, but usually want them located very far from where they might have to see them.
