Reply to comment by HardlightCereal in Are some North American bat species more likely to reside in man-made structures than others, or is the choice of habitat typically consistent across all bat species? by OrganicDroid
Ok, that's a fair point, but what these new sonars can do, it's like setting off a small nuke underwater. That's a little bit extreme; we wouldn't just nuke some land based target willy nilly. We shouldn't be doing it in the ocean.

Fortunately, I have heard that the Navy have been investigating a passive alternative. You know how someone who is intimately familiar with the sounds of a forest can detect the approach of dangerous animals (including humans) by noticing changes in the sound of animals and insects and stuff? Apparently, they're working on a system that can use marine sounds for the same purpose.

I’d throw money at people for that to get done. Other night I was sitting outside enjoying nature when suddenly it got too quiet. The dogs stopped barking, the bugs went quiet. I jumped in my car real quick. Even I felt that there was something lurking. Didn’t see what it was, but I didn’t leave the car again for a while.

The consequences of climate collapse due to CO2 pollution could potentially be as damaging to the environment as a nuclear war. So yes, the military does effectively nuke land based targets willy-nilly

The military (at least in the US) is not anywhere near being close to a top polluter. They led the way in remote solar and organically produced fuel. They've effectively become one of the oldest green friendly organizations.
