Study showing that bats are attracted by wind turbines

as far as 14 km away (offshore on top of that!).

This would turn wind turbines into ecological traps. Forget about “siting wind turbines carefully”. It’s useless: certain birds and bats are attracted by them from far away, and killed.

This is a whole new ball game.
