Work starts on windfarm opposed by Donald Trump By The Courier Reporter May 9 2013, 12:04pm May 9 2013, 12:04pm Share Work starts on windfarm opposed by Donald Trump Share via Facebook Twitter Linkedin Whatsapp Messenger Email Post link https://www.thecourier.co.uk/news/scotland/259745/work-starts-on-windfarm-opposed-by-donald-trump/ Copy Link Work on a contentious offshore wind turbine development opposed by Donald Trump is under way. Drilling is taking place a few miles from the Aberdeenshire coast to validate the findings of early research. The £230 million European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre (EOWDC) was approved by the Scottish Government in March. Mr Trump complains that the 11-turbine project will spoil the view from his golf course north of Aberdeen and damage tourism. Iain Todd, spokesman for the turbine test centre, said the work will help demonstrate potential for “innovative” turbine foundation designs.
