Seems like these folks are a good deal more proactive about protecting their wildlife then Washington state, at least when it comes to wind projects anyway.

Already, the company has canceled a second phase of the Shaffer Mountain Wind Farm because of environmental concerns, he said.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.dailyamerican.com/articles/2007/04/29/news/news897.txt"><DIV>The study is necessary because human disturbance and habitat loss have led to the Indiana bat being put on the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's endangered species list, Chenger said. The study is being jointly funded by the wind turbine companies Gamesa Energy USA and Airtricity.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.dailyamerican.com/articles/2007/04/29/news/news897.txt"><DIV>Learning more about the population's habits could help the company reduce the potential for deaths caused by turbines, he said. The companies could change the turbine's operational patterns when a population of bats comes into the turbine area. During bat seasons, windmills could be shut down or slowed at certain times of the day or night, he said.</DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;"> </td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/44612F71-CAC8-4449-93E6-71891F9DBF95/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
