Wind farms can cause problems for pilots...

Well..they don't make any sense anyways...
The wind turbines, which can reach 110m, can move at more than 160mph, and the movement can create blind spots for pilots trying to land aircraft.

Wind farms can create distortion on radar screens and as the number of farms has increased, so has the number of radar "blackout zones", meaning that aircraft passing through the area can effectively disappear with air traffic controllers losing their exact position.

Now the National Air Traffic Services (Nats), the body that monitors British airspace, has asked Raytheon, the American defence company, to design the world's first system to enable radar to avoid this interference.

Raytheon, the largest manufacturer of radar systems in the world, hopes to complete the £5 million project by the end of next year.

Radar coverage cannot be provided around 'wind farms' because the large spinning blades return so much energy it overwhelms the reciever, if allowed into the reciever the radar only sees those blades and nothing else.

There will be an aircraft with instrument problems trying to duck under bad weather at night - and they'll plow right into those things or the ground because they had no radar assistance. Lives will be lost the same way they were lost years ago before we utilized radar. For nothing.
