(We all remember the story of Don Quixote, right? The romantic gentleman from Miguel de Cervantes' novel who was obsessed with chivalric adventures and sets out to revive knighthood. He mistook the windmills for giants and charged at them.)
When you see a row of windmills do you find them ugly or unattractive? I find them interesting and find nothing negative about them. Not so with Trump. It seems that he got very mad when he found that he could see windmills from one of his golf courses in Scotland. He finds them disgusting, inappropriate, expensive and ugly.
Five windmill farm leases have been terminated in the construction phase on the East Coast. The project was expected to power 2.5 million homes and businesses. The only substantial reason for this major gutting of the offshore wind industry in the United States is that there seems to be a security risk. It supposedly messes with radar. Yet a spokesman for the windmill farms said they had worked closely with the military and he pointed out that two pilot turbines "had been operating for five years with no impact on national security.
Well, Trump where is Don Quixote when you need him?

Maybe I can type some here to defend Trump: he is against terror, and many illegal imigrants attack innocent citizens and get away with it, even the attacked citizens are punished for self defense...trump fights that.

@stringer321 Trump is a racist ... and can't be trusted. He is playing that he is on Israel's side, but he is actually anti-Palestinian.

@stringer321 .......That doesn't give him the right to kidnap innocent people off the street and throw them in a cell with a foam cup and plastic spoon for weeks, sometimes months. Is this how you'd like to be treated? Not able to see their families or a lawyer. Sure, arrest the bad but leave the innocent alone.

One cousin in Oklahoma has a windmill farm and we visited him a few years ago (Before Covid.) and they were LOUD! We stayed with him one night and I rented a motel room several miles from his home the second night. I couldn't sleep with all the noise they made the first night.

That's sad to hear. I didn't realize they were noisy.

@celticeagle Imagine the noise from a fan in your bedroom and then imagine that sound multiplied by LOTS of fans. They make a whoosh sound that you can't stop hearing.

@DaddyEvil ..........That them out away from cities so it can't be really bad for city dwellers. I would hope not. Maybe I'm being naive, but I like the idea of them helping with power for millions across the country.

Don't the windmills cause birds accidents when the birds get hit by the rotating wings though ?
I am interested in energy storage. I guess every energy harnessing method has pros and cons.

In some instances, as do airplanes and other things they come into contact with.

The novel about Don Quixote was one of my dad's favorite books in Latvian of course, I don't know if he ever read it in English but knowing this fact I got the book once from the library in Latvia but could not get through it,

Because he wants a legacy left behind him that reaches into every corner of the world. And, of course he is a narcissist who can only see things his way and no one else has any rights or needs. It's all about him and $$$$$$$$$$$$.
