Bats are the latest animal getting slaughtered for “green” dreams:

President Obama’s energy-independence plan to develop pollution-free wind power to replace dirty coal and oil is running into opposition from an unlikely source: bats.
Wind-energy programs in New York — including a developer’s plan to build the city’s first wind farm at Staten Island’s mothballed Fresh Kills landfill — are tied up in red tape because their projects will endanger bats, birds and other wildlife, The Post has learned.
The nocturnal flying mammals are getting slaughtered because they have a strange habit of flying into the blades of wind turbines during the warm spring and summer months, operators and wildlife advocates said.
“An energy source simply cannot be ‘green’ if it kills thousands upon thousands of bats,” said Bat Conservation International.
