Trump does not believe in climate change even though several scientists and even the climate itself have shown that it does exist. However, for some time now, the president of the United States had not spoken again about climate change until just at a dinner of the National Republican Congressional Committee, where he once again spoke out against clean energy by saying that turbines Wind stress decreases property values, kills birds, and even causes cancer.
With that stance, the president reaffirms his belief against climate change and has firmly opposed wind-generated energy, often extravagantly criticizing renewable energy when talking about coal and other traditional fossil fuels. . Some scientists have called this stance “malicious ignorance.”
And according to Trump, wind energy France Mobile Number List turbines kill birds (which is partly true but does so in a smaller quantity than other energy sources), plus dependence on turbines would mean that there would be no electricity if there is wind, an argument nullified due to the existence of batteries that store energy.
It is urgent to open dialogue on wind projects
A few days ago, the president mocked wind energy and attacked his former presidential rival Hillary Clinton, who proposed greater investment in wind turbines to reduce dependence on traditional fossil fuels and thus reduce carbon emissions.
“ If you have a windmill anywhere near your house, congratulations, your house lost 75 percent of its value.”
He then presented his latest argument, telling the audience, “And they say noise causes cancer,” before imitating the sound of a turbine as the crowd laughed and applauded.
However, so far there is no study or research that states that the noise from a wind turbine causes cancer.
According to The Atlantic, some groups that are against wind energy say that the low-frequency noise, known as infrasound, emitted by the turbines can cause health problems such as nausea, loss of sleep and anxiety, among many other symptoms. .
So far no research confirms this and no type of cancer has been linked to high noise levels. However, chemicals and particulates released in the extraction, storage, transportation and burning of coal and other fossil fuels have been associated with higher rates of cancer.

A few weeks ago, Trump attacked Clinton's plans to expand America's wind energy infrastructure. “You know, Hillary wanted to put windmills all over the place. Let's put up some windmills. When the wind doesn't blow, turn off the television, darling, please. There is no wind, please turn off the TV quickly,” he said.
And at the Conservative Political Action Conference last month, Trump dismissed the effectiveness of wind energy as part of his attack on the Green New Deal. “When the wind stops blowing, that's the end of your electricity.”
Although Trump's position may be influential, the wind energy industry continues to grow, data from the American Wind Energy Association says the industry supported more than 100,000 jobs in 2017 and provided 6.3 percent of the energy of the nation. The Energy Information Association said wind power was on track to overtake hydropower as the country's largest renewable energy source by 2019.
