Wind Turbines and Radar

Recent blanket action by some agencies in the U.S. government effectively halts development of many pending wind energy facilities and has led to a de facto moratorium on the development of new clean, renewable, domestic wind energy resources in parts of the United States.

Misplaced concerns stall wind projects

Wind = clean, domestic energy

90% of Americans support building more “wind-turbine farms”.
