Trump and Putin Are on the Same Page About Wind Power, Too

Another thing U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin have in common: They’re both worried about wind farms killing birds.

“Everyone knows that indeed wind power generation is good,” Putin said, while attending a summit in the industrial city of Yekaterinburg, Russia. “But does anyone remember about birds in this case? How many birds die?” If that rings a bell, rewind to May 2016 when Trump was giving his first major energy speech and declared that wind power was “a problem” -- because, he said, it’s “killing all the eagles.”
