Trump: Wind energy doesn't work. You need subsidies for wind energy. Energy shouldn't need subsidies.

Wind energy worked in the past to get ships to cross the Atlantic from the "Old World" to the "New World."

We're talking the days of Christopher Colombus setting sail from Spain in 1492 and Christopher Newport and his crew set sail from England to establish the Jamestown Colony in 1607.

Back then, ships didn't have steam-powered turbine engines, so they relied on large sheets of canvas or other fabrics called sails that hung from long poles called masts to catch the wind to get their ships moving across the ocean.
