TT noted:
<<I'm not sure about Green opposition to offshore windfarms in the UK, but I
have heard there are serious problems with the Ministry of Defence.
Apparently
concentrations of wind turbines would form significant low level radar
shadows, and thus a threat to National Security. It seems that the MoD can
just veto turbine sites at will. This is why investors are becoming edgy
financing such operations, and who could blame them?>>
I wonder why the UK Defense types couldn't use the wind turbines as detection
posts for sonar, radar, seismics, and what not? Unless there is already an
underwater do-hickey already there?
Again, technology shouldn't be a a pong-pong ball for a political agenda.
