How ironic that Donald Trump is now moaning about wind turbines spoiling the view in an area of outstanding natural beauty. Here's a man who managed to get a golf and country club complex (and how we all know what a desperate shortage there is of golf courses in the UK) past the planners, so that the beautiful coastline in Aberdeenshire is now being messed up. The planners are set to give permission for wind turbines to be erected less than a mile away, and Trump has got the hump. Double standards, or what! He is arguing that they would spoil the view. Twat.
Was I the only one gobsmacked by the uselessness of wind turbines? I had not realised that there can in fact be too much wind, meaning the things had to be switched off. In the gales last weekend and early this week, the excess wind would have meant too much electricity being produced and an 'imbalance' that would have caused problems. So, the operators had to switch off some of the turbines - but be compensated for not being able to generate electricity and in turn revenue! Fucking daft.
