Can we see a video on the impact a nuclear accident might have on Bats please? It would be nice to compare information & it would provide? a fair & balanced discussion on the subject!
anyone else notice? google plus invaded youtube?
Yes. They? will become resistant to death itself,becoming undead and drinking the blood of the living. Cooool…
I have tried to find other research on this subject but cant find anything. I followed? your link but the findings there are inconclusive,and one of the so called experts called it a windmill. We need to spend more money studying the true environmental impact,if any,of wind turbines.
The research done by these researchers that has collected hard evidence does? count as research, right? I agree with you that the amount of research on the impact of turbines to wildlife must be increased before we set of any extinctions! More of this!
ahh ha the “we hate wind turbine crew” who most likely have shares in oil? companies are out in force again i see.
Cant wait to get to work on my bat exterminator!!!!?
There is nothing wrong with the Uni of Calgary. But untill I find dead bats at my local wind farm I will continue? to be a sceptic. I have studied air pressure and propeller design so I have a little knowledge on this subject. I think more research needs to be done on this subject because killing wildlife this way is just as bad as by atmospheric pollution.
This was put out by the University of Calgary, a respected institution. You can’t possibly be equating it with UFO videos. You clearly don’t have a clue? what air pressure is since you mentioned “G forces” as a refute.
As I said. This video is Horseshit,Bats pull big G forces for their size when they twist and turn hunting their prey. The drop in air pressure is no more than a change in air speed as the air moves over the two aerofoil surfaces of the turbine blades,this? is the same as a sudden gust of wind which Bats can cope with. I still walk my dogs around wind turbines and see no dead Bats. This video is a spoof but good for debate.The UFO vids are also to be taken with a pinch of salt.
Oh? thank god. Since you haven’t seen it then there’s clearly no evidence. All clear guys! Flag the video, take it down.
WORLD RECORD: BIGGEST WIND TURBINE
Visit: windturbinecarriedbywheels.weebly.com
ZERO-NOISE from gears and generators since they are sealed underground.
SAVES THE BIRDS AND BATS since slow-moving.
DOES NOT NEED TO OCCUPY A? WIDER LANDSCAPE since the turbine can be very tall.
MAY BE LOWER-COST since it may use timber and other cheaper things.
ELUDES HURRICANE FORCE since the blades automatically close.
NO FIRE since well-cooled.
HELPS THE WIND ENERGY COMPANIES since it is FREE FOR ALL.

ZERO-NOISE from the gears and the generators because they are silenced underground (Only the outer parts of the turbines may create sound.).
This SAVES THE BIRDS AND BATS (since slow-moving) and? helps the wind energy companies (since it is FREE FOR ALL.).

This is absolute horseshit. There is NO evidence that wind turbines kill anything. I have walked around loads of sites like this and never found anything dead,birds or bats. I also have? a turbine on my roof and the birds sit on it when its spinning,they dont give a shit..
NUMBER OF ANIMALS KILLED IN THE UNITED STATES? BY CARS? ANNUALLY: * 41 million squirrels * 26 million cats * 22 million rats * 19 million opossums * 15 million raccoons * 6 million dogs * 350,000 deer
NOT TO MENTION INSECTS AND BIRDS.
NUMBER OF BIRDS KILLED BY DOMESTIC CATS IN THE US ANNUALLY:
1 BILLION, AND THAT IS A CONSERVATIVE NUMBER.
SORRY IF I’M BORING YOU WITH THESE NUMBERS BECAUSE I DON’T HAVE PICTURES OR VIDEO.
THANKS, GEORGE
gets? me h
Obviously people will use this as a political tool to bash renewables but what this research shows is that we need to work on protecting the bats and making sure they are not flying anywhere near the turbines. This number of bat deaths most likely pales into insignificance when compared to the loss of bats through pollution and habitat destruction. We know how bats communicate and locate their prey. It could be as simple as mounting ultrasound emitters? to turbines? To scare them away. Research!
how is? it a strange phenomenon lol if its by humans its not natural
Sadly, the grubbermint will probably throw billions of the taxpayer’s money at a fix which doesn’t work. Either that, or when the? pressure-resistant bats will grow in numbers about the time the grubbermint’s 20-year program reaches a crescendo and the grubbermint will lay false claim to the success.
Give evolution a chance. Those with stronger lungs? will survive to reproduce offspring resistant to this phenomenon.
*insert really long post with? political convictions*
You gotta lose something to get? something. I rather lose a bird then lose a person getting cancer type of disease cause by polluted environment. When we cut trees to make something no one says a word. Trees has life too like us. Why worry about birds? Some people just worry about small stupid things. I don’t understand who fund those university graduate freaks. No wonder we are in recession. Just install a Ultra sonic or bird can hear instrument on those blade. It might help to scare away birds.
Atleast you? can keep twilight away.
Or to be on the more technical side (your comment was funny :D ) they could install a machine that puts out a certain frequency that leads the bat to believe there is mass all around that area. Like a layer of ions that reflect the sonar signitures back to the little fellas and make them think there are hills or cliff side surrounding the turbines. I’ll admit, just cuz an animal dies doesnt mean we shouldnt use wind turbine free energy.? (well free for the elite corporations)
