It's unfortunate we have reached the stage of energy companies having to pay for radar systems to smooth through renewable energy projects, but I'd rather that than no wind farm.
drustsonoferp Why should the MOD, who have a perfectly good radar system in place, have to pay to replace it just because this government is stupid enough to pay private companies a huge subsidy to operate a highly inefficient power generation system that is not commercially capable of being viable compared with coal or gas fired power stations?

These companies are going to make huge profits at the tax payers expense and at the same time have a huge detrimental effect on the environment.
