Trump butts in Palm Springs windmills, insults many

http://www.kesq.com/news/Donald-Trump-discusses-controversial-tweet-about-Palm-Springs/-/233092/16642096/-/dgjsyoz/-/index.htmlPALM SPRINGS, Calif. -
Of the millions of tweets sent out every day, one in particular about the desert caught our eye.

Monday afternoon, Donald Trump tweeted: "Ugly wind turbines have destroyed the entrance to Palm Springs, CA. These monstrocities are ruining landscapes all over the globe -- expensive and bad electric."

On the phone, Mr. Trump told us some of the things that bother him most about the turbines that freckle the gateway to Palm Springs.

"The turbines are made in China for the most part and certainly outside the United States, but mostly in China. They are a bird killing machines, they kill birds," Donald Trump said.

We went straight to the source, to the wind farm in Palm Springs, and spoke to a wind turbine tour director who has been in the energy business for 45 years .

a bit more with a clip at link, what an idiot! He got on this thing about them killing bired , then they asked an expert and found out the stats that for every 100k birds killed by cats, windows , etc ,3 are killed by mills
