President Trump won’t be happy. Scotland is fast becoming the go-to destination for offshore wind innovation, and the project he spent so long opposing is leading the way.

The first of 11 huge wind turbines has this week been installed by Swedish developer Vattenfall off the Aberdeen coast.

The wind farm is located about 1.5 miles from shore and fully visible from a nearby golf course built by the US President in Balmedie.

And two of the machines being constructed have been upgraded to 8.8 megawatts, the first time this has ever been used by the offshore wind industry.

The innovation means that just one rotation of its blades will be able to power the average UK home for an entire day. The newly installed turbine now reaches 190 metres into the air at its very tip, twice the height of Big Ben in London.

Mr Trump spent years in both Scottish and UK courts seeking to scupper the project. After losing his final appeal at the UK Supreme Court in December 2015, the project went ahead with construction.

Wind turbines in remote windy areas have always been a good choice. Just as solar panels in areas that are sunny year round. We can probably get almost 7% of our energy needs by doing that.

[RealJustme]

I should have included that Hydro is by far the largest producer of renewable energy without the use of fossil fuels, but yet libtards seem to avoid talking about Hydro power, why is that? There always seems to be this big push to invest in solar and wind power while ignoring the elephant in the room. The most efficient energy source is fossil fuel which provides 93% of our needs, why not invest in making it even more efficient?

The opening article is essentially unfair in suggesting that a person who opposes a wind farm near his golf course opposes all alternative energy.

Of course, most "journalism" tilts toward the Left and is unfair in that very manner.

Everybody likes golf courses which are beautiful and, to the extent possible, have uncluttered views, and that is true of leftists as well as conservatives.

Trump has stated often his interest in both wind and solar, but said unfortunately current costs outweigh the benefits, and he has also said he'd like them both to make better sense.

That is the truth, but naturally the lead article to this thread ignores that.

johnny is describing the classic NIMBY and trying hard to make it sound virtuous somehow because 'everyone is a nature lover' who just wants their expensive hobby for rich people to have their view unobstructed.
Sure, what poor people don't want their golf courses to be beautiful?

But nobody criticized Trump for being against alternative energy, only that he is a typical conservative hypocrite.

johnforbes, being one himself, finds that to be perfectly fine.

johnforbes isn't just a NIMBY, but is also a namby-pamby.

Hey namandgulf, have you ever driven through Canada? It's covered in tar sand mining pits. And it looks like shit.

Here are photos of namandgulf's dream landscape for oil production.

So you and snake both want the USA to look like that... only with hugh fans and holes everywhere

Clownslacker is just peeved because his own back yard -- if you look out past the 1949 Dodge up on cinderblocks, out past the plastic pink flamingo -- has a postcard view of the Central Bugtussle Dump.
