Remember the big stink a few years back that forced the use of a very effective DDT to come to a halt? Doesn't matter that millions have died from insect-born diseases that ccould've been stopped if it had been used.
Well, where's the outcry about this:
According to a study in the Wildlife Society Bulletin (@ Comparing bird and bat fatality-rate estimates among North American wind-energy projects - Smallwood - 2013 - Wildlife Society Bulletin - Wiley Online Library ), every year 573,000 birds (including 83,000 raptors) and 888,000 bats are killed by wind turbines — 30 percent higher than the federal government estimated in 2009, due mainly to increasing wind power capacity across the nation.
Bats? Who cares about those ugly little critters that get into your hair and suck your blood? (Another thing only ignorant people claim.) Wait till they're not around and the skies are loaded with trillions of annoying flying insects.
