That tweet is typical Trump garbage!
There is absolutely no evidence of noise from Turbines causing cancer! However there are a significant number of birds killed by the blades.
Coal is a seriously toxic energy source, both to produce and to use. And that's without considering the effect on the environment of the CO2 that burning it produces!
Unfortunately, vested interests here in US either lobby, bribe or simply lie about the effects in order to protect their industry. It would be much better if they found a way to migrate to zero-emission power production at the same sites as their polluting ones. Or at least nearby, so that the workforce isn't just abandoned, but that's not the way big business works here!
Back home in Aus, Coal is being replaced with renewables faster than expected, though it's still a major part of power production.
