Heard that the new wind facility near me has killed hoary, red, silverhaired, big brown and maybe a little brown bat. This despite the existance of mitigation tools to prevent such mortalities:

1. Slow/stop blades in light winds at night during migration (bats don't fly in high winds, blades don't turn when no wind)

2. Bat detectors that relay a measage to stop blades when bats are near

3. Ultrasonic deterrents when bats are near (like silent goose cannons)
