Waste, fraud, and abuse:

"The Trump administration will pay $1 billion US to a France's TotalEnergies to walk away from two U.S. offshore wind leases as the administration ramps up its campaign against offshore wind and other renewable energy." https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/trump-administration-totalenergies-offshore-wind-9.7139677

Just think of all the problems we could solve with $1 billion.

trump went and started an unnecessary and illegal war to "prevent Iran getting nuclear weapons"? The most likely outcome of that war is Iran getting nuclear weapons.

Measurement of windmill noise. Possibly trustworthy. (I have never been to a wind turbine that close).

"The biggest bird killer in the US (and likely, the world) is #Cats. Outdoor cats kill somewhere between 1.3 billion and 4 billion birds a year in the US alone. Let’s put it this way: for every one bird that dies in the blades of a turbine, domestic cats are dragging roughly 4,000 back to the porch."

If you have been angered by #DonaldJTrump making insults and telling obvious lies about the U.K. being covered in #windmills (sic! Xe means turbines, not mills.), the U.K. having Sharia law, & Mauritius stealing the #ChagosIslands from the U.K. …

… then welcome to what Canadians think every time the '51st state', or U.S.A. non-ownership of the #GordieHoweInternationalBridge, or how Canada didn't pay for it, or how #Canada is generally cheating the U.S.A. and started this, come up.
