Scotland wind farm opposed by Trump generates first power

A Scottish wind farm that President Trump personally lobbied went live on Tuesday, generating the first power that will be used to fuel the area near Trump's Aberdeenshire golf course.

The offshore wind turbine farm, called the European Offshore Wind Deployment Center, was developed by a Swedish energy group, according to the BBC, and features the most powerful wind energy turbines in the world.

Trump has long been against the project, which was constructed near his golf course, even fighting unsuccessfully all the way to Great Britain’s highest court to block it.

"We have overcome major engineering and technical challenges to achieve first power on the cutting edge EOWDC thanks to the collective expertise of Vattenfall, and our contractors," project director Adam Ezzamel told the BBC.
