Congressman Owens needs to check in to this. The problem of radar scatter due to ground clutter interference from nearby wind farms is well documented.
The Pentagon can take steps to limit wind development in locations too close to military air operations.
With expanded drone operations and a possible anti-missile missile base coming to Fort Drum, now is the time to deal with the issue.
In some parts of the country military have threatened to move out because of wind turbine radar interference with their operations. That is fine inland but on the border...NO.....Fort Drum has already established that
Wolf Island is a problem...I hope CV does not insist on screwing up our security with their wind towers.
Wow now we will become targets for foreign missiles in time of conflict. We really need missiles so close to us to defend what, our wonderful 1000 Islands.
Military defense is now and always has been big business and a gold mine for those communities who host them, welcome them and cooperate with them. Missile defense and drone operation will create much more to the economy than wind turbines that would drive military away. Hopefully Bill Owens will recognize the advantages of military over industrial wind.
Hey what if Fort Drum is closed down by the bract closings. How much money will the government save. We can only hope
