Claims wind turbine noise causes cancer at NRCC dinner

Speaking at the National Republican Congressional Committee annual dinner, Trump made the baseless claim that wind turbine noise causes cancer. He stated: 'If you have a windmill anywhere near your house, congratulations, your house just went down 75 percent in value. And they say the noise causes cancer.' There is no scientific evidence linking wind turbines to cancer. The claim represented the culmination of Trump's years-long vendetta against wind energy, which began when he fought Scottish wind farms near his golf courses. Fact-checkers immediately debunked the claim as false.
