Scotland Tells Liar Trump to Fuck Off and Shove His Threat Up His Butt

T. Boone Pickens, and he tried to get the government to enact taxes and other fees on oil production so that his wind farm BS would be profitable. Typical asshole.
The golf course is already built. The wind farm is not. The UK has made wind farms on its windy coast a major source of employment.Trump was holding back jobs. That wind farm will bring far more jobs than his golf course. You kind of miss the point that Trump was willing to obstruct jobs because he didn't like the view they would create. Now that they have booted his ass they can get on with the massive construction project of building the wind farm that will supply 68,000 homes with clean energy. Trump will either operate the golf course anyway or someone else will.Well if true. Trump can always build that course somewhere else and the Scots can kiss those jobs goodbye.
Are you on drugs? Wind farms typically employ 11 or 12 people. Golf courses dozens.
No, they haven't. Wind farms have been a remarkably bad investment. The UK taxpayers are only now beginning to understand just how badly they've been screwed. As more info comes out expect to see the farms close. There's a huge difference between the propaganda you spew, and reality....
Wind power has failed to deliver what it promised
The wind-power industry is expensive, passes costs on to the consumer and does not create many jobs in return
Wind power has failed to deliver what it

Yup and who was the oil guy from this country, T. Wayne Pickens, a billionaire who invested his own money in Wind power only to find it just wasn't viable.
I am DEVASTATED I had plan to but a little windmill on the roof of my house----
in order to generate electricity------I was so optimistic
It is already built. Trump promised 6,000 jobs. The project created 200. He is pegged as a liar and cheat in Scotland.Trump was holding back jobs. That wind farm will bring far more jobs than his golf course. You kind of miss the point that Trump was willing to obstruct jobs because he didn't like the view they would create. Now that they have booted his ass they can get on with the massive construction project of building the wind farm that will supply 68,000 homes with clean energy.

Wind farms?? Right.
I'm sure Trump will build his course somewhere else and the jobs will go to that somewhere else.

Wind farms have a long way to go.
The development of local economies, though, because of the farms has been a god send in the panhandle of Texas.
THE ECONOMIC IMPACT OF WIND ENERGY BioFuels and Energy August 30, 2012
There are 47,000 megawatts of wind energy capacity installed in the U.S. The authors of a new study say that for each megawatt of wind capacity, a county gains half a job and just over $11,000 in total personal income.
There has been a surge in wind power development in recent years, and wind energy has been promoted both as a clean supply of energy and as a way to build local economies, especially in rural areas. The Economic Impact of Wind Energy | Daily Yonder

Wind energy benefits the economy in three ways:
- Windparks bring economic development to the rural communities that host them.
- Developing our nation's wind energy resources creates demands for turbines and turbine components, which stimulates the manufacturing sector.
- Wind energy helps to stabilize wholesale electricity costs, which is good for both consumers and for businesses (for more info, go to "Wind Energy and our Nation's Energy Mix").

I suggest you dig a little deeper. They reference the actual report but don't link to it though you can easily find the link with the info provided and then there is information like this
"And what is the benefit of all this expense? In terms of jobs, disappointingly little. Greater Gabbard, an offshore wind farm, employs 100 people at its headquarters in Lowestoft, Suffolk. Divide Greater Gabbard’s subsidy of £129 million by 100, and each job is worth an incredible £1.29 million. The spend might be more justifiable if wind were an efficient and abundant energy source – but it simply is not. Its output fluctuates wildly depending on the amount of wind available. This week, our thousands of wind turbines managed to generate an impressive 12 per cent of our total energy production. But during our last cold, windless winter – when electricity demand was at its greatest – that fell to lows of 0.1 per cent."
Which is a matter of Public Record so once again you are simply parroting the propagandists. Like I said, this was a factual report and we got an opinion piece in return and you can't understand the difference.

"The earliest known wind powered grain mills and water pumps were used by the Persians in A.D. 500-900 and by the Chinese in A.D. 1200. The first windmill manufactured in the United States was designed byDaniel Halladay, who began inventing windmills in 1854 in his Connecticut machine shop."

So, my question to Westwall is why is he so against green and renewable sources of energy? Is he invested in oil or gas? A lobbyist for the pollution industries, or simply a curmudgeon, a reactionary conservative fearful of the change and hoping to return to the early 19th century?

Notice how quickly the detractors deflect into a discussion about the pro's and con's of wind farms and ignore the disrespect and treatment Scotland handed out to Trump. That of course, is the topic of the thread. Trump losing his court case and Scotland ignoring his threat to pull out of his golf course project.

Scotland voted a decisive 'no' to independence.Trump thinks money rules. It doesn't Scotland is a place that wants to be independent of the UK based on it's heritage and proud history, not money.
