Greenpeace activists stage demonstration at Trump Turnberry golf course in Scotland
Three activists erected six model turbines to protest Trump’s support for oil and gas, and Greenpeace said wind and solar have saved £7 million a day.
- On Monday, Greenpeace activists installed six mock wind turbines on the fourth hole green at Trump Turnberry Golf Club in Ayrshire, displaying a sign reading "Choose wind, dump Trump" before removing them as golfers arrived.
- Trump's recent social media posts advocating for North Sea oil extraction prompted the demonstration; he urged Britain to "DRILL, BABY, DRILL!!!" while declaring "NO MORE WINDMILLS!" last week.
- Greenpeace cited polling showing 65% of Scots oppose Trump's call for increased oil and gas extraction, preferring renewable energy. The group claims wind and solar farms have saved the UK £7 million daily since the Ukraine war began.
- Polling by Survation from April 2-10 revealed that 48% of Scots believe renewable energy is the best way to cut energy bills, while just 13% backed further oil and gas extraction.
- Climate campaigner Lily-Rose Ellis with Greenpeace asserts that clean energy independent of the Strait of Hormuz or Russian pipelines boosts security, stating "The renewables Trump hates are the best insurance policy against the chaos he's unleashed.
