The executive summary excerpted below suggests the results were inconclusive. Most bat experts remain unconvinced that acoustic deterrence will be a suitable mitigation approach to reduce bat fatalities at existing turbines. http://www.windaction.org/articles/18634 http://www.windaction.org/articles/6215 Tue, 17 Oct 2006 14:05:34 GMT Rick Webb's presentation on October 17 at the Energy Virginia conference provides a thought provoking analysis of the costs and benefits of industrial wind energy. ]]> Rick Webb's presentation on October 17 at the Energy Virginia conference provides a thought provoking analysis of the costs and benefits of industrial wind energy. http://www.windaction.org/articles/6215 http://www.windaction.org/articles/106 Wed, 01 Jun 2005 04:00:00 GMT BBC Research & Consulting's 2005 report for the National Wind Coordinating Committee that studies 9 wind plant sitings in an effort to identify circumstances that distinguish welcomed projects from projects that were not accepted by communities. http://www.windaction.org/articles/106
