In a tirade against renewables, Trump claims wind power ‘kills all the birds'

(Those among us opposed to renewable energy appear unable, or unwilling, to acknowledge the real and measurable damage done to humans, along with all other species, by energy derived from fossil fuels – it far outweighs any damage caused by the methods of producing renewable energy – Robert McLean)
