RADAR study no longer delays Austin, MN Wind Farm

There has been a hold-up in building new wind farms in Minnesota in 2006.
The delay has stemmed from the FAA & Homeland Security stopping development pending analysis to determine if the wind turbines will disrupt aviation RADAR signals. This analysis is now required nationally since a dispute over a windfarm near Cape Cod, MA.

Now, the RADAR study has been completed for a 100-megawatt farm near Austin, MN. The farm has been given a green light to build the turbines. There are 2 other farms in southwest MN still waiting for approval. For more details, go to:
