Donald Trump vowed to issue an executive order targeting offshore wind development if he wins a second term as president, making his most explicit threat yet toward the growing industry.
The presumptive Republican nominee derided offshore wind projects as lethal for birds and whales during his oceanfront rally Saturday in Wildwood, New Jersey, and committed to take action.

Honestly, I like our worthless windmills, buy he's right about those seagulls in the offshore windfarms. Not as deadly as kids with Alka Seltzer, but close!
I'm not going to let Trump anger me any more. I am going to find the funnier things he does, unintentionally.
While this statement was intended to be a F*** You to environmentalists, really, it just reminds me of a parody TV commercial in GTA V.
My experience with these windmills is they close down the freeway at night so oversized vehicles and 30 highway patrol units can move them a single blade at a time.
As far a power goes, I say nuclear all the way. Just don't build them on top of faultlines and I think you'll be good. And if they do melt down, it's probably better to admit it and not try to hide the dishonor of improper radiation shielding.

You bring to mind across the shore from us a couple miles and on the Canadian shore...are like a dozen white wind turbines.
Near there in Windsor...is Jack Miners Bird Sanctuary, timed release nightly of 1000's of bird...prob....like 5-10 miles North.
The flying swarm of birds would be decimated, as yes, they do fly Point Pelee south way on the shore of ERIE.
Only producing minimum energy....who over there....thought this was a good idea to put the turbines there?

They also have a very large "carbon footprint" to manufacture, transport, and maintain.

The windmills are bad for the environment. They slaughter birds and screw with the whales killing them too. The onshore ones are a huge killer of bald eagles. I don't know why they are still allowed to be up and running.

I have a suggestion. Go spend a few minutes researching and see how many authenticated whale deaths you can find linked to windmills by some kind of evidence. I did, and I couldn't find any.
I suspect that the only reason you think that windmills kill whales is because the world famous wildlife expert, Donald Trump, told you to think that.
