Last week there was a report from the UK that offshore wind farms were impacting upon Royal Airforce radar, creating blind spots that could be a military issue. Now there is a report from the US military that the expansion of windmills is raising a nuclear security issue, as these windmills spread across the country. The problem is that so many are being put up, under the manic drive to make society based upon renewable energy, so called, that it is becoming dangerous for helicopter crews to quickly swoop into the nuclear silo areas. Not only are there the physical blades to deal with, the towers often being around 200 metres high, but air turbulence is created which poses problems for flight crews. The US Air Force has estimated that 46 of its 450 underground silos are already “severely” encroached upon by these wind farms, which keep expanding.
There are new problems with so called renewable energy being revealed almost every week. A more thorough investigation of renewable energy should have been undertaken before even the first wind power tower was erected. But it is still not too late to undo this madness and return to fossil fuels.
