Windmills.

This is coolbert:

"Minister of Defense [MoD] of UK does not permit any wind farm located at less than 74 km [about 44 miles] of an air defense radar, unless developers can demonstrate no interferences with the defense radar"

As in England so as in the USA too? Offshore electric power generating windmills "problematic" from the national defense standpoint?

"Pentagon: Offshore Wind Farms May Threaten ‘Military Readiness,’ National Security"

From https://www.breitbart.com the article by FRANCES MARTEL | 18 Apr 2023.

"A Department of Defense assessment of locations proposed to build offshore wind farms on the Atlantic coast found several areas to be 'highly problematic' due to their proximity to U.S. military training sites, Bloomberg reported on Monday, publishing a Pentagon map of the areas in question."

"A Pentagon spokesperson confirmed to Fox News on the same day that the warnings published by Bloomberg were an authentic assessment of proposed areas for offshore wind development, stating that the Defense Department would “continue to work” with the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), responsible for greenlighting the offshore wind deals, to find the 'best locations for development.'”

As has been KNOWN and ACKNOWLEDGED for some time these power-generating windmills ONSHORE are "problematic" from the RADAR standpoint!

That enormous area off the eastern coast of the USA long used for training purposes, air-air intercept training with LIVE fire and and shootdowns of drones. Interference with radars of the intercepting warplane a hindrance not permissible.

I might imagine also that the American DoD worried about Russian submarine-launched sea-skimming missiles with atomic warhead the threat as posed during a time of crisis or overt war. Interference with shore-based air defense radars not tolerable.

See several Internet articles here and here the difficulties as posed by windmills to radar.
