Haberman says Northern Ireland was also discussed, though Trump “appeared to get bored” and instead talked about an offshore wind farm near one of his Scottish golf courses

That'll be the one offshore Aberdeen as it's only about 5km from Trumps golf course.
Though when WT2 is built he'll have both to moan about :lol:

just as long as the golf course doesn't get cheap electricity because it's a neighbour... I think that because of the environmental harm they do, all golf courses should be subject to higher fuel and water rates than the rest of us and also land taxes (rates.)

If you get a petition going as to how much water they extract in drought years when infinitely more important things are running dry, I will happily sign.

That’s how Amazon and Tesco get their power through power purchase agreement, so would think any large organisation with significant energy costs would do the same.

Don’t play golf, I have no issues with golf courses, club houses, driving ranges etc

Remember, to compound matters for trumpty-dumpty this is an additional set next to pre-existing turbines, so yeah I think it'll be something they try & keep from him, ..unless they wish to incite an aneurysm in the "fittest president ever" (no bad thing)
