Loses legal challenge to Scottish windfarm near golf resort

Trump lost a legal challenge against a major offshore windfarm being built near his Aberdeenshire golf resort in Scotland. He had campaigned vigorously against the windfarm, claiming it would ruin the views and damage tourism. The Scottish government approved the project despite Trump's objections. This defeat foreshadowed his ongoing hostility to wind energy and renewable power, which he would continue attacking as president with false claims about wind turbines causing cancer and killing birds.
