Windfarm A Go, Trump Vowing To File Lawsuit

Bloomberg's Louise Downing and Tim Farrand reveal that the Scottish government has approved the $349 million Aberdeen wind farm opposed by Donald Trump.

This means Trump will continue to put his hotel and real estate plans on hold at Trump International Scotland.

“This was a purely political decision,” Trump said in a statement. “We will spend whatever monies are necessary to see to it that these huge and unsightly industrial wind turbines are never constructed.”

Trump has been in conflict with Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond for more than a year over his goal of making the country the hub of European wind power by generating all of its electricity from renewable sources by 2020.

Trump reiterated today that he would file a lawsuit to stop “the destruction of Aberdeen and Scotland itself.”

Scotland itself!
