Wind turbines in Aberdeen Bay

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-north-east-orkney-shetland-14408064

 

An application has been lodged to build a wind farm project off the coast of Aberdeen.

 

Aberdeen bay would be the location for 11 next generation turbines.

 

The application is being made by the Aberdeen Renewable Energy Group (AREG) in cooperation with two other companies, Vattenfall and Technip.

 

In the past Donald Trump raised concerns that they would spoil the view of golfers on his new course north of the city.

 

It is six years since the idea of a wind farm was first mooted in the waters off Aberdeen.

 

The consortium says 11 next generation wind turbines would be constructed as a testing ground for future developments and the project would be called the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre (EOWDC).

 

It is expected it would create jobs and economic benefit by attracting scientists, researchers, engineers, offshore wind supply chain companies.

 

Morag McCorkindale, chief operating officer at AREG, said: "As Europe's energy capital, Aberdeen city and shire is the ideal location for the EOWDC.

 

"The region has an offshore oil and gas supply chain unrivalled in the eastern hemisphere and therefore has the highest concentration of energy expertise, experience, skills and technology.

 

"This industrial-scale know-how is crucial to the development of marine renewables, and in the short-term particularly, offshore wind."

 

Interesting that is being presented as a testing ground for new turbines, will make it easier to steer through the planning system.

Tycoon Donald Trump has said he was "lured" into building a £1bn golf resort in Scotland with assurances that a nearby wind farm would not go ahead.

 

Two things:

 

(1) It wouldn't surprise me at all if Scottish Politicians have duped Trump, in order to get him to build his course, but

 

(2) Trump is a successful businessman, why didn't he get it in writing that the wind farm wouldn't be built?

 

I suspect both sides won't come out of this smelling of roses.

when asked to provide statistical evidence to back up his claims, the best trump could come up with was, "I am the evidence."

 

Why anyone would countenance what the buffoon says is beyond me. As for being lured here, he's been on an ego-trip from day one. It was his own bloody idea.

Exactly. Quite why the Parliament are entertaining him and his views I'm not quite sure.  I hope they asked him some probing questions about the shit he spouts but I won't hold my breath.

In a way he is behaving like Rangers, attempting to bully the authorities into doing what he wishes without thought to due process, evidence, public opinion or any grace what so ever

Think Trump needs to take a swatch at the design for his hotel/ clubhouse before he starts preaching about how ugly turbines look.

Patrick Harvie fairly tearing into him on the radio there.  Basically called him an ignorant fantasist.

I think Mizer's compiling a report on illegal aliens and wants them deported back to Durkadurkastan so he's collecting evidence to pass to the relevant authorities. Basically the same reason you do it.

If you can read its the ground of my work -  and two Dundee junkies were looking for some drugs they had thrown over the hedge probably as they had seen a police car. I found this quite funny and detrimental to the image of Dundee so took the photo.
