Updated Wind Energy Resources

Updated Wind Energy Resources

Next to irrational fear, wind power production now poses the greatest threat to bats, especially in industrialized countries. The full impact of this exponentially growing industry remains largely unmeasured and unreported, but available evidence is alarming. Wind production companies, widely viewed as “green,” have not lived up to their reputation, and too many conservationists have remained silent for far too long. Bat researchers have worked diligently to help wind energy producers become truly green. However, only a small proportion of companies have implemented even the most cost-effective measures. 
 
As Merlin reports in his updated resource documents, it’s difficult to explain how we can know so much about cost-effective solutions, yet do so little. He suggests it’s time for cooperation among responsible energy producers and leading conservation organizations to simply rank companies on a true green scale and share these rankings with energy investment advisers, providing incentives for progress before it’s too late.
