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

    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.
