I'm building a huge project in Aberdeen, Scotland, that's the oil capital of Europe. It's an amazing place, an amazing city. And Scotland is just beautiful.

Well, you've probably been reading, there's a lot of hoopla about windmills. They're horrible looking structures. They make noise, they kill birds by the thousands, they're really destructive and I don't care who the environmentalist is.

They are not good, they're unsightly. And in the case of Scotland, they're going crazy with trying to put them up all over the place and everyone else is going crazy, trying to take them down. Some countries have totally given up with the turbines because the experience has been so bad.

But Scotland has a group of leaders, one in particular who just is fostering them on the people and it's really, really sad. They want to build thousands of windmills in the waters that surround the most beautiful shoreline, probably anywhere in the world. It has to be stopped.

They're noisy, they're inefficient when the wind doesn't blow, you don't get any electricity. And when it does blow, you don't get much. And the big thing after they're up and after they destroyed the environment, you have to replace them every five years because that same environment makes them rust rot and fall down.

So why somebody wants to take this horrible technology and use it to destroy one of the great and most beautiful countries is beyond me, everybody's against it. But the government of Scotland is pushing it and pushing it and pushing it. And we have to stop it because believe me, it's a major mistake.

I actually made the statement that never before in the history of Scotland has a disaster like this taking place.
