It always sounded so ridiculously unlikely, and that I’ve only heard people who definitely is just grasping for arguments never helped either.

Good that there is some actual data on it now

Oh..but what about the HEADACHES.

Probably hysteria, but infrasonic emissions should be considered in the engineering. I have no clue what the infrasonic signatures are like for various wind turbines setups. I have lived near industrial infrasonic generators of other sources, and I have hated it before knowing anything about it.

Bottom line for me:

wind powered electricity, good
pollution of any kind, bad
emissions are an engineering problem, not an intrinsic one (usually)

I suspect "infrasonic emissions" are mentioned to summon the image of some scary new unknown. Except cars produce it too, at least the ones with combustion engines. It is sound. It doesn't matter if it is produced, it matters how loud it is.

Amazing how the headaches go away when there is a cash offer.
