Green energy may be causing deadly ‘explosion' in bats

Going green is supposed to be good for the environment, unless you're a bat.  Researchers are investigating the deaths of bats around wind farms where some of the dead animals show no signs of injury. But it's not just bats that seem to be having problems with the farms.
