So it seems the US Military is trying to stop the worlds largest wind farm from being constructed in Oregon.  They reason that the windmills will interfere with a radar system in Fossil, OR.

Well that’s bullshit.

I worked on radar in the Navy. If you get a repeatable false reflection down range, you can tune it out. Radar in the eighties could do this so well we could see small boats coming in behind a lighthouse. The lighthouse has a known signature. Any deviation from the known signature is a possible target. We did this at SEA fer chrissakes, where you’re radar platform is constantly moving on all axis. Now we’re 30 years further in tech and they can’t figure out how to mask those windmills?  On land?

Something else is up. Not the radar.

“Hi Bob? Yeah it’s Jim at Conoco. Say, can you do something about this fucking windfarm of Obama’s up in Oregon?  Yes?  Excellent.  See you Thursday.”
