How is inefficiency to be measured though? By what standard? That seems to be an economic measure, so by that argument to become more efficient, You have to give up material wealth. Which is not a bad thing, but those 50 people who use the same resources as one person somewhere else may be doing so in conditions of poverty. So where do we draw the line between lingering in the stone age and moving forward? It's a rather complex question to wrap the mind around.

The reference article says does not say "alarming rates", gives no numbers or percentages of total bat population at all, doesn't say the wind turbines are on forested ridges, and doesn't say they are in the eastern United States.

4 years after alarming numbers of bats were documented as dying from barotrauma and collision with industrial turbine blades at windplants in WV and PA, the impact of windfarms on bats is well-documented and acknowledged in the conservation community. A simple google search will confirm that bats are suffering a mortality rate of 50-100 bats per ... Read Moreturbine per year on forested ridges in the eastern US. That kind of impact led the PA Biological Survey to isssue this statement:

Money always wins. If locals can't make money by preserving the local scenery or wildlife, they will eventually monetize it some other way, be it clearing forests for farms, trapping apes for bush meat, or snaring crocodiles for hides. You must get local buy-in for conservation and ecotourism is one good way to do it.

The Yucatan is not what most Americans consider 'rain forest', but it does meet the criteria. Not all areas get the rain associated with 'rain forests' and the ground is often quite rocky near the surface. The sink holes or cenotes hidden the the jungle are frequently the water source for area inhabitants. Local flora and fauna are remarkably diverse, especially in light of human interference. I'd love to study the area, camera in hand, if I could just cut down on the mosquito population.
