Former President Donald Trump made many statements attacking wind energy. These claims were checked by researchers from Deutsche Welle, FactCheck.org, Time, and more. Many of his claims are not true. In this article, we explain each claim, show the facts, and give clear examples. We keep it simple and honest.

Trump’s Claim: Wind Turbines Cause Cancer

Trump has repeatedly claimed that the noise from wind turbines causes health problems like cancer. He said something like, “the noise causes cancer.”

Plain Facts:

• Turbine sound might annoy some people, but does not cause cancer.

Plain Facts:

• Turbine bird deaths are low compared to other causes.
• Studies confirm turbines are not a large threat.
