Offshore Wind National Defense Masking Radar Cruise Missiles - Drones

Offshore Wind Appeal Docketing Statement Due by March 2, 2026
.
The Trump administration has appealed a December 18, 2025, district court ruling in a multi-state lawsuit concerning offshore wind energy policy.
.
On February 17, 2026, the administration initiated the appeal process for the offshore wind case, *State of New York v. Donald J. Trump*, #1:25-cv-11221-PBS. The case is filed in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit, Boston, Massachusetts.  Note # 1 
.
Rule 26 requires a docketing statement by March 2, 2026. This statement demonstrates the appellate court's jurisdiction and identifies issues for review. National security is one example.
.
Large offshore wind turbines create radar clutter by reflecting signals from their 300-foot blades. To put this in perspective, much smaller onshore wind turbines located within five miles of an airport pose significant radar-clutter risks. They can obscure aircraft from line-of-sight FAA Doppler Radar and Airport Surveillance Radar. Onshore wind turbines are generally set back five miles from airports.
.
Offshore wind clutter could hamper marine navigation, search, and rescue by obscuring fishing boats. (January 1, 2019) 
.
Offshore wind turbines pose a national defense risk to low-flying cruise missiles and drones due to wind turbine clutter. In 2024, Sweden halted plans for 13 offshore wind farms in the Baltic Sea, citing concerns they could impede its response to a missile attack. Previously, the French military strongly opposed wind turbines, imposing strict development limits near radar sites. 
.
Federal courts have ruled that the Trump administration's actions regarding the offshore wind memo violated the Administrative Procedure Act, often citing "arbitrary and capricious" decision-making or failures to follow proper notice-and-comment procedures.

The PAVE PAWS radar on Cape Cod (located at Cape Cod Space Force Station, formerly Cape Cod AFS) is still active, fully operational, and was upgraded to the advanced AN/FPS-132 system. It continues to operate 24/7/365, providing critical early warning, missile defense, and space surveillance for the U.S. Space Force

Maine Center For Public Interest Reporting – Three Part Series: A CRITICAL LOOK AT MAINE’S WIND ACT

******** IF LINKS BELOW DON'T WORK, GOOGLE THEM*********

(excerpts) From Part 1 – On Maine’s Wind Law “Once the committee passed the wind energy bill on to the full House and Senate, lawmakers there didn’t even debate it. They passed it unanimously and with no discussion. House Majority Leader Hannah Pingree, a Democrat from North Haven, says legislators probably didn’t know how many turbines would be constructed in Maine if the law’s goals were met." . – Maine Center for Public Interest Reporting, August 2010 https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-power-bandwagon-hits-bumps-in-the-road-3/From Part 2 – On Wind and Oil Yet using wind energy doesn’t lower dependence on imported foreign oil. That’s because the majority of imported oil in Maine is used for heating and transportation. And switching our dependence from foreign oil to Maine-produced electricity isn’t likely to happen very soon, says Bartlett. “Right now, people can’t switch to electric cars and heating – if they did, we’d be in trouble.” So was one of the fundamental premises of the task force false, or at least misleading?" https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-swept-task-force-set-the-rules/From Part 3 – On Wind-Required New Transmission Lines Finally, the building of enormous, high-voltage transmission lines that the regional electricity system operator says are required to move substantial amounts of wind power to markets south of Maine was never even discussed by the task force – an omission that Mills said will come to haunt the state.“If you try to put 2,500 or 3,000 megawatts in northern or eastern Maine – oh, my god, try to build the transmission!” said Mills. “It’s not just the towers, it’s the lines – that’s when I begin to think that the goal is a little farfetched.” https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/flaws-in-bill-like-skating-with-dull-skates/

Sign up today and lend your voice and presence to the steadily rising tide that will soon sweep the scourge of useless and wretched turbines from our beloved Maine countryside. For many of us, our little pieces of paradise have been hard won. Did the carpetbaggers think they could simply steal them from us?

We have the facts on our side. We have the truth on our side. All we need now is YOU.
