A blanket "freeze" on all new installations is inappropriate.<BR/><BR/>Also, the language calls for studying <B>impacts</B> of wind on radar, but not <B>ways to mitigate</B> those impacts. Obviously, that is a wrong-headed approach and potential solutions should be thoroughly studied and publicized as well.<BR/><BR/>Regards,<BR/>Tom Gray<BR/>American Wind Energy Association<BR/><A HREF="http://www.awea.org" REL="nofollow">www.awea.org</A><BR/><A HREF="http://www.ifnotwind.org" REL="nofollow">www.ifnotwind.org</A>Tom Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14728522824855808421noreply@blogger.com
