President Donald Trump has never been shy of sharing his dislike of wind turbines. But by suggesting this week that their noise could cause cancer, he stunned political friends and foes alike.

"It's an idiotic statement," Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Thursday, echoing an earlier assessment by Republican Senator Chuck Grassley.

Addressing a Republican fundraiser in Washington, the US president -- who routinely questions the science of climate change -- launched a lengthy attack on wind turbines which he called "windmills."

"They say the noise causes cancer," Trump told the gathering -- a theory not borne out by scientific research.

A staunch supporter of the coal industry, Trump has taken to cracking jokes at his rallies about wind power, which accounted for some six percent of US energy generation in 2016, according to the Energy Department.

"I'd love to watch a show tonight, darling," Trump quipped last week to laughs from the crowd in Michigan. "The wind hasn't blown for three days."

"Darling, please, tell the wind to blow."


What gets me is that in one of the videos where he is talking about this he then tries to make the noise of a windmill. If his claims are true was he trying to give his audience cancer?

Being Scottish, you probably know this, but Trump has had an irrational grudge against windmills for many years.

"His bizarre crusade against wind energy has been going on for more than 20 years, starting all the way back in 2006, when he revolted against the Scottish government for trying to install a wind farm near his Aberdeenshire golf resort. He told Scottish parliament that 'wind turbines, made in China, are going to be the destruction...almost a total destruction...of your tourism industry.'"

Yeah, I may have been involved in a few protests against him and his golf course.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
