[Donning tin-foil hat] This announcement comes just a day after the release of "Batman Begins". Coincidence? Or part of a devious marketing strategy??

I believe I can spend my money more wisely than the government.

as a kid I threw lots of rocks at bats and always missed....they have radar.

We learned that a tactic of throwing one rock to attract the bat and then following up with a second yielded better results.

Bats will know not to fly into wind turbines.

Send me the $300,000, I will personally sit under the wind generator and count all the bats that hit it.

"Study will determine effect of wind turbines on bats"

Prob'bly chops 'em up into little pieces. No need to spend all that cash to figure that out.

Wind mills are a farce!

When the wind doesn't blow it has been legislated that fossil fuels will make up the difference and attribute it to Wind mills.

Why don't they just put up pictures of Wind Turbines in the Bat caves with a red circle and a line drawn through it. This is an International Symbol that the bats should recognize already. If they don't ! Who gives a bats ass!

My experience with bat caves in Texas is that one cave can house millions of bats. When these people say there are 'significant' bat deaths, what are they talking about in actual numbers? Does anyone have a clue?

On the lighter side, isn't this a good outcome in the evolutionary process, protecting the bat gene pool from bats with defective sonar capabilities from procreating?.
