"He may be the clear poll leader in the Republican presidential race and have been found by his doctor to be in “astonishingly excellent” health, but the singular charms of Donald Trump have failed to work on the supreme court in London."

"Five justices at Britain’s highest court have rejected the property mogul’s attempt to prevent an offshore windfarm being built within sight of his golf course in Scotland, dismissing his appeal against planning permission for the turbines that was granted by Scottish ministers."

"Their decision prompted an extraordinary war of words between the billionaire and the former Scottish first minister Alex Salmond, who branded Trump “three times a loser”,

I have never been fond of wind farms or golf courses.

This is a beauty:
He should go back to doing what he does best:unveiling pompous portraits of himself that pander to his already over inflated ego.

Windfarms are destroying the beauty of the Black Forest more and more. The Black Forest of my youth does not exist anymore...

There are proper places for wind farms, the Black Forest is not one of them.

Out on the prairie, wind farms are majestic and wonderful to see.

Hydroelectric was supposed to be our "free lunch" energy source, then, nuclear. Now it's "renewable".
Efficient use is one option to "free" additional generating Capacity.

The Time Trump Got Schooled By The LA Unified

'In at least one huge deal in L.A., Trump got schooled'

"On one side was the alpha male of New York developers who burst into town with pockets full of money, a legion of lobbyists and lawyers and an audacious plan to build the nation's tallest building.

Opposing was a tag team Donald Trump would have little reason to fear: Jackie Goldberg and Jeff Horton, two rumpled progressives on the Los Angeles Board of Education." LA Times

Positively ugly and hope they get torn down.
I am currently visiting the Lake Tahoe area and very much doubt if this will ever fly here. We are surrounded by national forests and the Sierra mountains.
