Show me the country that has gone all in on wind and solar that has cheaper energy costs than us? Hasn’t worked out in Europe.

Place them all around Martha’s Vineyard. Then watch the complaining begin.

Close. It's 28%.

I dunno what you mean by “all in on” but that’s not what I said and wasn’t my point. China is embracing pretty much any and all forms of energy and their production is exploding. Nuclear,
Solar, wind, all of it.

My point is we should be doing the same. The squabbling over what to bet on (which we’ve been having for decades) is the wrong framework. We should be saying, “yeah let’s do that, AND….”

I wasn't aware of this, but it makes sense. I asked Grok and he explained it to me:

quote:

Marine vessel radar (used by ships for navigation and collision avoidance): Offshore wind turbines create strong radar returns due to their large metal structures and rotating blades. This generates "clutter" (false echoes), which can obscure smaller vessels, buoys, or other objects on radar displays. Rotating blades produce Doppler effects that complicate detection, potentially increasing navigation risks in congested areas. A 2022 report from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine highlighted these challenges for maritime safety.

Aviation and air traffic control radars: Turbines can create interference for systems monitoring airspace, such as airport surveillance radars or long-range defense radars. The moving blades spread interference across Doppler frequencies used for aircraft detection.

Weather radars (e.g., NEXRAD): Similar to onshore wind farms, offshore ones can cause clutter if in the line of sight, though effects are often more localized unless very close.

Other systems: High-frequency (HF) SeaSonde radars for ocean current monitoring and some defense/military radars face impacts, with concerns raised about national security in certain locations.


It seems that air traffic controllers and ship radars would be the most affected.

I really don't care why.

I just care that they shut this green energy boondoggle bullshite down.

Amazing how climate change isn't such a big deal anymore, since the last presidential cycle. It was bogus from the jump.

Just an excuse the spend like a drunken sailor on pet project inefficient green energy projects to enrich Dem donors and the Chinese.
