[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=anonymous] 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]

The administration that made the decision to approve the wind farms and approve their specific locations chose to disregard the inputs from the Pentagon (yes, this was reported as a specific concern by the Pentagon well before before the decision was made way back when).

Example: One of the main east coast USAF radars is located on the north eastern quadrant of Oceana NAS in VA Beach.  Look for the radomes on Google Maps using satellite view. A Dominion wind farm site blocks substantial amounts of that radar’s field of view.  As noted before, the ground clutter from fixed towers can (partially) be mitigated, but the interference from moving blades cannot be mitigated.[/quote]

Interesting how this reason was only like, the tenth one offered for shutting these projects down. I don’t buy it. Scotland seems to manage just fine with their turbines off the coast of Trump’s golf course. Maybe we can ask the Royal Navy for tips. [/quote]

I cannot speak to the motivations of the current administration.

I can say this radar issue has been a well-known Pentagon concern for years. [/quote]

And yet the well known, deadly issues at DCA were not. Have to wonder about the Pentagon’s priorities. [/quote]
