far out birds venture over Lake Michigan during migrations? Do near offshore
turbines pose as great a threat as on-shore turbines. There is a shallow,
central plateau in Lake Michigan. Would a turbine farm there pose a greater threat
than one in rural farmland? There are probably fewer bats there. What is known
about this?</span></font></p>
