Wind farms vs. neighbors - Solar, Wind and Land: Conflicts in Renewable Energy Development - page 46

97 See, e.g. , Vestel, Wind Turbine Projects Run Into Resistance (stating that
“many radar systems in use in the United States date back to the 1950s
and have outdated processing capabilities—in some cases, less than those
of a modern laptop computer”); Elizabeth Burleson, Wind Power, National
Security, and Sound Energy Policy , 17 Penn. St. Envtl. L. Rev. 137, 43 (2009)
(quoting the United States Department of Energy as stating that “[t]here are
a number of technical mitigation options available today, including software
upgrades to existing radar, processing filters related to signature identifi-
cation, [and] replacing aging radar”) (citations omitted); Robert Mendick,

March 1, 2011) (“The cost of a single radar installation was said to be in the
range of $3-8M, to be compared with the $2-4M cost of a single wind turbine,
and the roughly $0.5M annual electric production of a single turbine (5×106
kWh, at $0.10/kWh retail). A wind farm can have hundreds of turbines”).
