New Study of Bad Habitats and Wind Energy Can Help Minimize Collisions

Mexican free-tailed bats tend to live in the same areas that are good for wind energy, according to a new study by the U.S. Geological Survey and an international team of scientists. These findings suggest that wind industry practices like turning off wind turbines during low wind speeds may be a more effective strategy for reducing bat fatalities than placing turbines in areas where these bats are not found.
