[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is actually about RADAR and Physics.  The turning blades of the offshore wind farms prevent USAF radar from working properly to detect and track incoming aircraft.  There is no easy or quick fix to the interference this causes.  The fixed towers also create ground clutter, but because they are fixed it is possible to (partially) compensate for that.

And yes, the Russians still fly TU-95s and other aircraft up and down the US East Coast regularly, flying from Russia then through the GIUK gap to Newfoundland and then down to Cuba.  Langley AFB and others scramble fighters to make sure the Russians stay outside US airspace and to remind them that we can see them coming.

Pentagon has been concerned about this for over a decade.  I have no idea what future administrations might decide, but the issues are very real.  And the Laws of Physics are laws that cannot be avoided.[/quote]

So why was the project given the green light in the first place is there were concerns for over a decade?  It's going to impact consumers negatively as Dominion in VA has committed a ton of dollars towards this project that is no effectively killed when is partially complete.  What changed?  [/quote]
