Vows to halt Scottish investment until Aberdeen wind farm dies

While visiting Aberdeen, Trump told local press he would keep fighting the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre, said the turbines were “ridiculous” and “heavily subsidised,” and warned that construction at his Menie estate would not proceed “until they give up this ridiculous notion” of building the offshore wind farm.

"As soon as they give up this ridiculous notion of putting these heavily subsidised things out in the harbour we will continue." — Comments reported by STV and OffshoreWind.biz after Trump’s May 2014 visit to Aberdeen.
