Technologies that help air traffic control systems discern flying airplanes from wind turbines show positive results, but cooperation among government agencies is needed. Martin LaMonica is a senior writer covering green tech and cutting-edge technologies.

We’re focused on the wind today – in addition to the downpours. High wind warnings Click here for active weather alerts. High winds are blowing in the middle atmosphere, about 5,000 feet above us. Those winds are projected to be near 100 mph!

Racing against the Biden administration’s clean energy agenda, members of Congress are pressing for a solution for wind turbines that interfere with plane radars before more offshore wind projects are approved. As turbines continue to expand in size and ...

WASHINGTON — Offshore wind farms can interfere with navigational radar used by ships and smaller vessels to avoid collisions, posing challenges for safe maritime navigation, says a new report from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and ...

The Air Force is looking to hire a software modeling company to develop a tool to get around a growing problem: radar interference caused by wind turbines. Officials at Peterson Air Force Base, Colo., announced that they plan to award a two-year research ...

Offshore wind development has the potential to transform the nation’s energy supply by providing clean power directly to big coastal cities. In fact, the Biden administration is pushing to develop 30 gigawatts of offshore wind capacity by 2030—enough ...

It only takes the slightest radar interference to cause air traffic to spiral into an emergency diversion or a loss of situational awareness during critical flight phases. But over the last few decades, numerous reports have corroborated what many in the ...
