We had a microbat flying round our lounge room last night. We thought it was a moth for a while - it was smaller than the palm of my hand. It came in through the cat flap, which was uncovered at the time. It would stop occasionally and hang from a shelf or the curtain rails, so we got a good look at it. At least they're easy to get back outside.

The turbines are generating plenty of electricity here in T.Boone-land, but the infrastructure required to 'pipe' all of it to where it is needed is, for now, lacking. Momentum is building to get it matched to production, but I don't see evidence of progress yet. The landowners around here are paid per post regardless of production. I have heard $2,000 per post per year but have not seen that documented.

Do microbats carry the lissa virus? I don't know, but I hope you were careful if you had to handle it sandy.

A little slice of Texas: cotton modules and some of the thousands of wind turbine generators. No people. No blasted birds. No exploded bats. At least, not until one of you talented folk 'shop them in!

Over here the debate rages between those who don't want them because they'll kill the birds, or because they'll look unsightly. Then there are the proponents who fight each other to get them in their back yards so the govt has to pay them and not their neighbour (and they're paid very very well).
