Effect of Wind farms on radar?

Hi,

I have previously posted on pprune regarding my dissertation: the effect of wind farms on aviation. I'm looking for some more responses from ATC on their view of them. Various papers and websites have announced the growing fears for aviation safety from increased wind farm development due to clutter, shadows etc. on radar. However, I'm interested in your view and if you have ever experience problems of clutter. Or maybe you think they aid pilots as navigational sources for G/A? I would appreciate any ATCO, or pilot who could let me know their personal view:

Thanks in advance!
