The Inconvenient Truth Of Wind Turbine Radar Blackout Zones

This is funny, we have a technology that can help us remove our dependency on fossil fuels and we find out that it causes a disturbance in the force so much that it effects radar.  This effect could cause blank spots in our ability to watch the skies for terrorists or bombers coming in.  I would be interested in seeing who comes up with a wind turbine that doesn’t cause this problem, you know someone will.  It is like the genius that came up with the blade-less fan.  Someone will do it.
