Effects of Wind Turbines

["John Murray Penhallurick" <>]

Hi friends,

In an article in the New Scientist I recently received (12 May,2007,p.4), it
was reported that although wind turbines did not seem to cause signficant
problem for birds, it has been found in the US that the main vitims of such
turbines are bats. The article speculated that possibly the high frequency
noise from the turbine?s gears might disrupt the bats? echolocation system.
I find this very worrying. Any thoughts?
