Work on a West Virginia wind power project has been halted by a federal judge who sided with environmentalists' claim that the project would harm an endangered bat.
U.S. District Judge Roger Titus issued the order Tuesday, citing potential harm to the federally endangered Indiana bat.
John Stroud, co-chairman of one of the environmental groups that filed the lawsuit, Mountain Communities for Responsible Energy, said group members were "really delighted with the ruling."
"We've been working on this for a while and the judge saw things our way, and we're really pleased," said Stroud, a rare book dealer who owns a farm a mile and a half from the wind power site.

Besides, what is an Indiana bat doing in W. Virginia in the first place?
Lol...
“Besides, what is an Indiana bat doing in W. Virginia in the first place?”
Flying?
Save one small furry animal or build the wind farm to save all the rest ... what a conundrum! No, judge instead says better to save the bat and let the oceans rise ... / sarcasm
Probably relocated to get away from unemployment and tax rates in IN.
This is why I love liberals, they fight with each other all the time and block others advancements. You will never see this in conservative groups.
Cheers!
It’s kind of ironic how the most powerful weapons in the liberal quiver to cripple our economy and stifle domestic development were signed into law by their arch nemesis Richard M. Nixon.
Between the EPA and opening talks with China.. Ironic indeed.
Time to pump that there oil!
It is a LOT more eco-friendly than that eeevil wind

Shame no judge will ask “how much power are these windmills generating?” When the answer is “very little” he should ban the lot.
We knew this was going to happen. The envirowhackos will not be satisfied until everyone except the elite (and the envirowhackos think of themselves as the elite) are living in mud huts.
LOL They’ve all gone batty.
Cool. Green energy thwarted by an endangered species. Environmentalists chasing their tails.
Just how endangered can some of these species be? It seems like they are eveywhere anybody wants to build something.
