There only two wind farm sites in North America where windfarms have killed an enormous amount of Bats. One in West Virgina and ONe in Alberta Canada. Still these Wind Farms only killed an average of five bats per turbine. Hardly the thousands that was stated earlier. Please don't believe everything you read. Investigate further. Research, research research. How many Bates do you think our Coal plants kill every year not to mention HUMANS. This is being blown out proportition.

I am very thankful that Michigan has a dedicated biologist such as Barb Barton. Without her dedication to endangered species, our state would lose some of what makes it stand out against other states. What a great article and very informative.
