Security Issue - Wind Turbines interfering with radar? Listen to radio show guest above! She mentions the following bill! It binds their hands from objecting to the wind energy for one!

Natl Defense Authorization Act (HR 1540) Jan 2011 (see pg 772- 777)

QUOTE
Multiple Mitigation Strategies

The conflict between wind turbines and radar is not a new one. The Sierra Club filed a lawsuit in 2006 arguing that the holds on wind farms due to military radar concerns were in effect halting the entire industry, and speaking at a conference earlier this year Seifert cited American Wind Energy Association data indicating that more than 9,000 MW of wind power have been held up, deferred or abandoned due to radar issues.

There is little debate that wind turbines can in fact interfere with radar’s ability to see planes. The real question, Seifert told SolveClimate, is whether small gaps in a radar’s vision are really all that important.

“If the plane is flying along, and you see him for 50 miles, and he disappears for a couple of miles and then is back on the screen again, did you lose your ability to do your job if that area is out in the middle of the desert and its not by anything that matters?”

He added that location is obviously quite important — if the turbines in question are next to a military base, or the border of the country, for example, “then the equation is completely different than if you’re out in the middle of Oregon. Those are questions that only the military can answer.”

And even if the answers to those questions are unequivocal and the military needs no gaps at all in its radar systems, solutions to the problem are plentiful.
