"Radar interference risk" is the cited reasoning. It took them the entire year to use anything other than a conspiracy theory to justify shutting these down.
I hadn't considered it but even if it is a pretense at least the reason actually makes sense? Ship-borne drones have become a significant issue and you could pretty easily screen them with offshore wind farms.
It’s unfortunate many people are able to see through this to the blatant corruption. Energy independence and national security is renewable energy. All sorts of diverse energy sources are good. But we don’t like that.
I don't even know if this is corruption. The Trump admin has definitely been engaged in a lot of graft, but this appears to just be "fuck you libs" for the sake of it. They know that liberals like renewable energy and they'd rather hurt liberals even if it hurts themselves too.
