MoD objects to four windfarms over radar interference fears

Original: MoD has objected to four windfarms in past year over radar interference fears https://www. theguardian.com/environment/2

The UK Ministry of Defence has raised objections to four windfarm projects in the past year, citing concerns that turbines could interfere with military radar systems. The objections add another hurdle for renewable energy developers, with critics warning that defence-related planning blocks could slow the expansion of wind power needed for the UK's climate and energy targets.

Why now: The defence objections highlight ongoing tensions between UK renewable energy expansion and national security concerns.
