Donald Trump: 'Ugly Wind Turbines Destroyed Entrance to Palm Springs'

With wind power an essential part of the desert economy, you would think Donald Trump would understand the value.

Instead, the New York-based businessman went to Twitter to say how the large turbines just make the desert "ugly."

"Ugly wind turbines have destroyed the entrance to Palm Springs, CA," Trump tweeted Monday. "These monstrosities are ruining landscapes all over the globe—expensive & bad electric."

The wind farms in the east San Gorgonio Pass are intended to harvest power from one of the primary wind corridors in Southern California.
