Trump just a blowhard on windmills, Grassley says of 'idiotic' comments by writerknowles
President Trump’s assertion at Tuesday’s Republican Congressional Committee’s annual dinner that the noise from wind power turbines “causes cancer,” is being ridiculed by Republican and Democratic lawmakers alike.
There is no scientific evidence to support Trump’s claim that the noise from wind turbines is correlated with or causes cancer. Asked Wednesday whether Americans should be worried about such a risk, White House spokeswoman Mercedes Schlapp was unable to explain the president’s remarks.Connecting the noise from wind power turbines with cancer wasn’t the only dubious claim the president made Tuesday about the alternative energy source.
In February, Trump lost a court case against the government of Scotland over the billionaire’s battle to halt construction of an 11-turbine wind farm offshore from his Aberdeen golf resort. The club must now reimburse the Scottish government for legal costs. At an October rally in Ohio, Trump also claimed that a downside of wind power was that electrical service stops when the breeze dies.
