Dave Belote, cited in the article, is misrepresenting the effectiveness of the Scan-Step technology now being field tested at the Shepherds Flat wind project. By 2008, 39% of our long range radar was negatively impacted by wind turbines. We have twice the capacity of wind now installed and the problem is NOT resolved. Meanwhile, our taxes are picking up the bill to degrade our radar resolution in the name of the green dream. That little ‘blank spot’ Belote refers to in on the radar map is big enough to fly a space shuttle through.

I had a feeling the reports of a low-cost solution were probably bunk. Thanks for the info.
