Trump: The Noise From Wind Turbines Causes Cancer

New York Magazine reports:



President Trump has long despised wind power. He has repeatedly blamed wind turbines for killing birds (which they do at a lower rate than other energy sources) and for allegedly causing electrical power to halt when the wind stops blowing.

In a speech tonight to House Republicans, Trump claimed that wind turbines cause cancer. “They say the noise causes cancer,” the president of the United States asserted.

Wind turbines do not cause cancer. Some people blame the noise for causing a variety of other health ailments, but these charges have zero scientific validity. Cancer is not caused by noises of any kind.
