Trump: the noise from windmills causes cancer

We Fact-Checked President Trump’s Dubious Claims on the Perils of Wind Power

Quote:....
You might get cancer. (You won’t.)
During a sometimes rambling digression about wind turbines at the National Republican Congressional Committee's annual spring dinnerin Washington on Tuesday, Mr. Trump said: “They say the noise causes cancer.”
The suggestion that turbine noises cause cancer is completely unfounded. “The American Cancer Society is unaware of any credible evidence linking the noise from windmills to cancer,” a spokeswoman for the group said in an email.


Separately, some researchers have been investigating claims that noise from wind turbines might cause other health problems like nausea, headaches or sleeplessness. So far, experts haven’t found strong evidence of links to those conditions, although that debate is likely to persist.
When compared to the research around coal power, an energy source that Mr. Trump has long championed, the difference is stark.

There is ample evidence linking the particulate pollution from coal plants to heart disease, respiratory problems, and lung cancer. When Mr. Trump moved to relax restrictions on coal plant pollution last year, his own Environmental Protection Agency estimated that the change could lead to as many as 1,400 additional premature deaths each yearby 2030.

So, "you tell me?"  NO.  NO it won't.  This is much more serious than some dumb **** in power making false statements for personal gain.  Its an attack on the future of sustainable energy.  Something that seems to be missed by those who would rather stick by their man than question his fitness for office.

The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."   Issac Asimov

Again.  NO.  NO it is not.
