'Usually when energy development moves into deeper waters to harness marine energy resources, coastal residents have nightmares of risky technology and oil spills.

But not when that development means floating wind turbines.

Statoil, the Norwegian-based oil and gas company, received approval from the United Kingdom’s Crown Estate to build five floating wind turbines in 100 meters of water off the coast of Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Combined, they will generate 30 megawatts of energy, and the planned hub will be the largest in Europe. '

I wonder who is behind the objections to such a proposal. Let me guess.... Donald Trump?

Lovely guy. He makes Clive Palmer look like a philanthropist.
