President Donald Trump's latest comments about wind power are being compared to Don Quixote's famous fear of windmills.
President Donald Trump is once again being mocked for his latest claim he"never understood" wind power Saturday at a Turning Point USA conference, with social media users comparing his comments to Don Quixote's famous fear of windmills.
Quixote imagined himself fighting giants as he attacked windmills 400 years earlier in the world-famous Spanish novel. "The truth is that President Don Quixote is tilting against #windmills NOT because of bald eagles, but because wind power cuts into the profits of his planet-destroying fossil fuel donors. It's all just hot air from a blowhard," wrotea popular Twitter user who goes by Brooklyn Dad Defiant, in response to a"Don Trump has surpassed Don Quixote as the craziest person in history named Don to make an enemy of windmills," actor Ken Olin responded Monday.
A peer-reviewed 2014 study conducted by federal scientists and the environmental consulting firm West Inc. found that wind turbines kill fewer birds each year than cats and cell phone towers."We estimate that on an annual basis, less than 0.1% ... of songbird and other small passerine species populations in North America perish from collisions with turbines," lead author Wallace Erickson of Wyoming-based West Inc.
