Check out yesterday's report on You and Yours (audio). A planning application for wind turbines in the Humber Gateway has recently been objected to by the Ministry of Defence because it may interfere with a radar installation. A text report here.
Huh?
So the Ministry of Defence cannot handle interference from stationary, permanent objects? How can they not be able to find a technical solution to this? Surely the problem has been encountered before? What do they do about other similar objects - surely trees are often similar in size and shape and even move in the wind.
A Solution
I do like the attitude of the interviewee - Jonathan Smith from E.ON - who is seeking a "third way". That's the spirit!
