A scientific team has now shown that access to drinking sites is hampered by wind turbines in agricultural landscapes: Many bat species avoid the turbines and water bodies located close to the ...
Access to water is particularly important for survival in the increasingly hot and dry summers caused by climate change, the time when female bats are pregnant and rear their young. A scientific team ...
"We were able to clearly recognize that those bats which specialized to forage in the open space and in dense vegetation avoided water bodies when wind turbines were located near them," says Voigt.
This approach was recently tested on wind power ... Wind Turbines Impair the Access of Bats to Water Bodies in Agricultural Landscapes Jan. 13, 2025 — Bats depend on open bodies of water such as ...
Concerns about the effect of wind turbine noise on whales are overblown, Todd said, namely because they do not make much noise at all. When rotating, a turbine’s massive blades produce a “constant ...
While there are already some limits on where turbines can go, if HB 1989 passes, no wind energy facility could be built if the base of any tower is less than two nautical miles “from a wildlife refuge ...
