I love this story:
two complete utter twats at each others throats, and a good analysis of windfarms to boot.
It says it all
Donald Trump, an unlikely Braveheart, prepares to defend Scotland's coastline from wind farms - Telegraph
Donald Trump is almost (but not quite) yelling down the phone from his New York offices in the 58-storey tower that bears his name, as do most things he owns. “I’m trying to save Scotland!” he cries. “If I don’t speak out, Scotland will go broke! I don’t need this hassle; I’m a very rich person. But someone has to defend Scotland’s unspoilt wilderness from the curse of wind turbines before it’s spoiled forever.”
And, of late, the billionaire is proving one almighty thorn in the side of Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond over proposals to erect 11 giant wind turbines a mile off the Aberdeenshire coast, where Trump is developing his Trump International Golf Links resort on the Balmedie Estate, near Menie.
In Trump, the oleaginous Salmond has met a world-class adversary, with an international media profile and virtually bottomless coffers. The fact that the First Minister was previously accused of being a little too cosy with Trump, and of having entered into something of a Faustian pact with the high-end developer, sacrificing an area of scientific interest for economic reasons, adds piquancy to their spat.
Bring it on
Now I’m doing her homeland an even bigger favour because I’m going to stop the desecration of its precious coastline by these ugly wind turbines.”
Phew thank god for that I thought he might be doing it for power prestige and money for himself
