Note the wide open mouth: clearly Indiana bats are closely related to moonbats.

Will BATMAN and ROBIN be joining the protest?

You have just insulted that bat.

First Polar Bears, now Bats.
Us humans don't stand a chance!
And if things don't start warming up from all this global cooling caused by global warming we are all going to start canibalizing each other!

Are we considered red meat?
I have to watch my cholesterol you know.

How confusing... an Indiana bat that exists in Appalachia only? Would that be close to Indiana, PA????
Just think, if the environmentalist put the money spent on lawyers to work... relocating the bats and working on breeding them (like was done with the buffalo and other endangered species) Appalachia could have their bats and clean energy too!!! Oh wait, environmentalist moonbats aren't happy unless they can "punish mankind" when trying to solve problems in nature... correct??? Never mind!

Is it me, or does anyone else think that that bat bears a striking resemblance to Gloria Allred?

When I see millions of bats flying around without smashing into each other, how hard is it for them to avoid a 400 ft. tall monstrousity? Do the windmills have some sort of Stealth radar absorbing technology built into them?

why does nancy peloski look so small in that picture?

INdeed! I used to live in a house that had a tile roof, and a bat colony lived in the roof. Access was limited to one really small hole. At daybreak, there would be a cloud, literally, around the house as the bats waited their turn to enter. Not once did I see a collision.

Jay: Sadly, Gloria Allred's shrill chirping is in a range that's all-too-audible to humans; the bat's echo-location is much more quiet.

Wind power is about the most realistic "green" energy out there. Look at farmers, they had those windmills pump water at least two hundred years ago (I didn't do a search, just guessing the years).

Just read your link about windmills being inefficient, yeah giant windmills "farms" are stupid, most of the time.

Next our car windshields will be squashing too many of the bees needed for polination.

Stick a generator on one of those windmill you mention and you'll have enough electricty to power you TV set, IF the wind is blowing.

I have no problem with wind-powered generators for small-time use,(A rich family in NY state had a big, Holland-style wind generator around 1900 to charge batterys for their lights) but it's really impractical for powering even a small town.

KHarn,

I think we are in agreement. For now it is only for limited use at best.

I do think solar or wind power will get cheap though. Until those solar photvoltaic cells go from $20,000 to support a modest house down to about $100 it wont work. Don't think it will get that cheap? Look at computers from 1980 vs. today.
