Our president Donald Trump, claims that windmills are cancer-causing bird killers that drive down property values, which sums up why he wants them out of sight on his golf course. He has tried for decades to halt Scotland's efforts to install a renewable energy wind farm on the coast of Aberdeen. The wind farm would be in sight from his golf course there. According to CNN Fact Check, Trump claims that "Windmills drive property value down 65%" and there is no evidence to support it. Wind turbines are expensive to produce, and the U.S imports them from countries like China and Germany. Although it's expensive to make, wind turbine technicians are the fastest growing occupation in the U.S with 105,000 wind technicians currently employed. In an interview withe CNN, Trump says, "He would like to cut federal spending for renewable energy sources by 70% and focus on Oil and Gas." The U.S is currently the the top producer of Oil and natural gas, passing Russia and Saudi Arabia and Trump would like to focus on that.

Before I read this article, I knew that producing wind turbines were expensive, but I didn't know that they were causing problems for the human population. The article is directed towards the U.S population with the purpose of informing them about Trump's beliefs about windmills. Finally, this article is important because it's an example of many different ways to sustain energy in a renewable and non-renewable way.
I THINK THAT IF THEY DID BRING PROPERTY VALUE DOWN IT WOULD BE BECAUSE OF THE UP KEEPING IT TAKES TO RUN THEM
