					<description><![CDATA[So he has actively started a legal process to stop the other spaceport in his back yard while investing in the competitor? 

Hard to believe that is not relevant to the legal process, the motivation there cannot be pure if he has a financial stake elsewhere. Blatant strong arm tactics. He may have shot himself in the foot.

All that hand-waving about being environmentally conscious is exposed as bluster when you pull a stunt like this.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Hmmmmmm.... Definitely something fishy going on here.... And I don&#039;t just mean the shoreline!!  Unfortunately I&#039;m about to start a week of 12 hour shifts, so I have no chance to do a deep dive into this... But I&#039;m sure there is dirt to be dug here.....]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Well, it seems like a reasonable solution. Though there may be other possibilities, such as it being a convenient front for some other finance strategy. I like capitalism because at its best, everyone comes away with something good. The spaceport gets built, the guy gets to keep his ol&#039; peat mogs or whatever (maybe pretty good whisky), and everybody&#039;s happy.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[some tidbits on this guy. (can&#039;t vouch for accuracy, it&#039;s the internet and all...)

&quot;The couple started buying land in 2006  and now own about 220,000 acres across 12 estates.&quot;
--&#062;&#062;&quot;Three of their four children - Alfred, five, Agnes, 12, and Alma, 15 - were killed in the bombing attacks in Sri Lanka which claimed more than 250 lives.&quot;
&quot;The Duke of Buccleuch is the most prominent of Scotland&#039;s traditional big landowners, owning about 200,000 acres, mostly in the south of Scotland.&quot;
&quot;The billionaire ruler of Dubai, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum, has also been busy snapping up about 63,000 acres of Scottish land.&quot;
&quot;.....the country&#039;s biggest landowner however remains the government agencies and public bodies that manage huge areas of land on behalf of the nation.&quot;
and.....
&quot;The Povlsens&#039; extensive Scottish land and property empire is good news for the Danish public purse, as Danes pay tax on all the land they own - regardless of where it is.&quot;]]></description>
