This week, President-elect Trump restated his opposition to wind power, saying turbines are "driving the whales crazy". So, sticking to the maritime theme, let's see how well you know your whale species. If you can find all 5 in the text below, Richard has promised to buy you a drink at our Scottish Parliamentary reception in Edinburgh on Tuesday.
As Trump continues to dominate the headlines after planting subtle hints of his endeavour to acquire the Panama Canal, suggesting the renaming of the 'Gulf of Mexico' to 'Gulf of America'. In Copenhagen, the gray winter weather reflects the gloomy mood amongst Denmark's politicians as Trump has not ruled out using military force to seize Greenland. A similar sentiment is felt across the North Atlantic as Elon Musk launched a barrage of criticism at Sir Keir Starmer and has reportedly discussed ways to oust him from No. 10.
Amongst this hullabaluga, at BPA Towers, along with finalising arrangements for our Scottish Parliamentary Reception, Mark has been planning the second Ports and DNOs Energy Workshop which will focus on tackling the uncertainty and resilience in energy planning. This is taking place ahead of the reception and we look forward to welcoming many ports and DNOs to the event.
Have a great weekend!
