Top Republican senator says Trump's suggestion that wind turbines cause cancer is 'idiotic'Senior Republican Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa publicly rebuked President Donald Trump's unsubstantiated claim that wind turbines are linked to cancer, calling it "idiotic" to Iowa reporters on Wednesday.
Grassley said Trump's "comments on wind energy — not only as a president but when he was a candidate — were, first of all, idiotic, and it didn't show much respect for Chuck Grassley as the grandfather of the wind energy tax credit," he told the Des Moines Register.
Trump, who has long attacked wind power and frequently fought against wind turbines being built near the golf courses he owns, laid into the wind industry at a Republican fundraising event on Tuesday.
"If you have a windmill anywhere near your house, congratulations your house just went down 75% in value. And they say the noise causes cancer, you tell me that one, OK?," Trump claimed, citing no proof for the assertion that windmills cause cancer.
Researchers who have studied the issue have found no evidence that wind turbines directly cause any physical illness. -snip
