What can we do about the threat wind turbines pose to bats and the like?

( Captain V, Thu 16 Jul 2009, 14:58, Reply)

I can answer that.
If it can't.
( Cawl, Thu 16 Jul 2009, 14:59, Reply)

Gaz me
Interested to know if you're thinking what I'm thinking.
( Captain V, Thu 16 Jul 2009, 15:01, Reply)

Done.

The perceived threat that has been invented by Defra to give them something to do, rather than finger their arses all day.
Given that most proposed windfarms are offshore for starters, and that the evidence of the 'low pressure' fucking bats up is not exactly rigorous I wouldn't do a damn thing.

This is also the opinion of most of the heads of environmental charities.
The real issue with wind technology is that it's all new and there isn't any real incentive to research it along with solar power becuase the goverment has provided no incentives.

The "Low Pressure" isn't the real issue here.
A giant fan-blade is more likely to fuck a bat up.

There are a whole lot of suggestions as to how to prevent this. None have been put in to action, as far as I'm aware.

Me! Me! I have a question!!
Why should I give a rat's ass about green energy? And also, why would I ever want to pay more for it?

Why can't we harness the power of smugness?
There's enough on here to power a small city.
( girlinthehole, Thu 16 Jul 2009, 15:02, Reply)

Haha!
Vipros could power Devon, Cornwall, Wales and Ireland.
( Cawl, Thu 16 Jul 2009, 15:05, Reply)

I wouldn't power Wales though
I lived there for too long. they don't deserve it.

plus, they've got loads of coal. they can use that.

I wish I could only use electricity generated in nuclear power stations
From a supplier that invests heavily in nuclear research .

( girlinthehole, Thu 16 Jul 2009, 15:06, Reply)

Yes.
Next time you're here, let's go visiting the nuclear power stations along the Severn. We're only 11 miles from Oldbury.

Edit: but yes to clendrix's idea also.

I like this idea a lot

( Captain V, Thu 16 Jul 2009, 15:06, Reply)

Oldbury, Berkeley, Hinkley Point A and Hinkley Point B.
We'll take a picnic.
