Pentagon sued for wind power block
By MB-BigB | June 30, 2006
an article in Yahoo news via AFP states that the Sierra Club has sued the Department of Defense (DoD) and Defense Secretary Rumsfeld charging them with blocking the building of new wind power plants. Congress had mandated that DoD complete a study to determine if wind turbines interfere with radar. DoD so far has not completed the study and they have not provided any indication of when the study will be completed, thereby essentially imposing a moratorium on the construction of any new wind power plants.
