California has these everywhere....but, somehow, not one thing in a turbine causes cancer?

Donald Trump has all sorts of odd grievances. He’s complained about low water pressure and toilets, magnetic elevators, a lack of Christmas cheer in advertisements, tiny windows, tiny fish, Abraham Lincoln’s negotiation skills, “the world” generally, and more. But perhaps his favorite thing to hate? Wind turbines.
In more than 100 social media posts over the last 12 years, he’s claimed that wind turbines are “ugly” and “disgusting looking,” “inefficient,” “unreliable,” “noisy,” “neighborhood-destroying,” “bird-killing” “monstrosities” that “cause tremendous damage to their local ecosystems.” (It’s true wind turbines kill birds—but not nearly as many as cars, buildings, and cats.) It’s a weirdly specific vendetta: It’s not as if Trump has some sort of personal, financial stake in blocking this one form of renewable energy. (Oh wait, he does.)
But as president, Trump went full wind-spiracy. At a Republican fundraiser in 2019, Trump claimed that wind turbines cause cancer. “If you have a windmill anywhere near your house, congratulations, your house just went down 75 percent in value,” he said. “And they say the noise causes cancer. You tell me that one, okay?”
Following the event, several outlets fact-checked the president. For one, there’s no reason to think wind turbines would cause a decrease in property value anywhere near 75 percent. As FactCheck.org, a nonprofit, nonpartisan fact-checking organization, reported at the time, most studies on the issue “indicate small or no changes to property values.”
And, critically, there is no known link between wind turbines and cancer. The American Cancer Society said at the time it was “unaware of any credible evidence linking the noise from windmills to cancer.” Nor is there any reason to think so, according to FactCheck.org

Looks to me that Trump was being facetious with that comment, but the TDS media is all on it.
“And they say....means it DID NOT come from him...
Stopped reading at “Mother Jones”.
We all know that global warming causes cancer, according to the MSM.
there is no known link between wind turbines and cancer.
= = =
How about those small fiberglas particles from broken blades, when one crashes?
They closed the beaches in Nantucket due to windmill ‘debris’.
Meh.
Don’t read it.
Don’t give them attention.
Don’t dissipate your energy by giving it to swine.
Let them stew alone in their insanity.
Sleep deprivation is the main problem for humans within 2 miles of a fan.
Wow!!! I didn't know that wind turbines also kill cars, buildings and cats!
All 100% true.
There is likely to be a small risk of cancer from fiberglass microfibers, but for some reason, no one wants to study this. And no one has really figured out how to “recycle” finished fiberglass products of any kind, never mind, colossal assemblies. Unlike things made of metal, fiberglass is worth less than nothing.
It won’t be long before the lefties start saying wind turbines cure cancer.

IF one can get near the base of one without getting arrested, they could study how all the dead birds got there....lol
“And they say the noise causes cancer. “
That is saying that someone else says wind turbines cause cancer. It is completely true that “they” - some unnamed person - says they cause cancer. That person is smoking crack, but there are people who think wind turbines cause cancer, and those who think electric transmission lines cause cancer, and cell phone radiation causes cancer, etc. There are people who think aspartame causes cancer, and PCBs cause cancer, and red due #3 causes cancer, and on and on. What Trump said is obviously 100 percent verifiably true. Some people say wind turbines cause cancer.
Keep trying, Mother. While he continues to roll.
“He told us to inject bleach!” :-0
(There’s something about Section 8…)
He did not say that it causes cancer. He said that some people say that it causes cancer. Not the same at all.
MANY of the dead birds are a LONG WAY from the MEDIA.
NO ONE is counting them
Trump: “And they say the noise causes cancer. You tell me that one, okay?”
Mother Jones: TRUMP CLAIMS WINDMILLS CAUSE CANCER!!!!
Somehow I don’t translate that the same way they do.
Lol so you’re saying Trump is idiosyncratic. Like Musk. Like Howard Hughes. Like Bill Gates. Like Steve Jobs. Rinse and repeat. GET OUT OF HERE!
