I don’t think it can be helped. But I think I’d rather kill a few bats and eagles with wind turbines then kill hundreds of costal habitats because we didn’t stop using coal/oil/gas. It’s things like this that restrict the growth of renewable energy. These groups don’t want these new turbines/solar panels/hydro electric dams being built because they interfere with nature, but if we don’t do so soon we will interfere with nature on a global scale. I just wish that these envrionmentalist activists and such would see that there has to be consequences. We just have to just between more localised problems or international ones (which can’t be stopped now, there’s going to be change, tough, but we can reduce the overall effect).
I’m not having a dig at you, it’s a personal gripe I have because the people who want to reduce CO 2 are those who also complain about the animals that will be killed when you fill such and such a valley with water, or ruin such and such a beautiful coastline. It’s going to happen. It can’t be stopped (climate change and all that)! Yes there has to be some boundries but seeing as these companies/governments have to listen to everyone it’s slowing the whole thing down.
As for the poor eagles and bats….wonder if you could deter bats using a high frequencey noise generator that didn’t affect other animals. Mhm. Research to be done me thinks :)
