6. But Trump doesn't care about birds. He's just PO'd about the wind turbines

offshore in Scotland near one of his golf resorts. He also hates renewable energy. While it's true that wind turbines do kill birds, Trump is ridiculously exaggerating the problem by claiming that dead birds are piling up underneath the turbines (they aren't). One thing that's being looked into is the locations where the turbines are sited, that is, placing them in areas away from migration paths (which is a major cause of bird deaths from wind turbines). But leave it to Trump to misrepresent an actual problem for his own purposes.
