I think that it is a combination of better diagnostic practices, diagnostic ambiguities, and ever popular exploitation. I know individuals with ADHD who fit the bill to me, and I know individuals who acknowledge they don’t have it and yet have a prescription. So, there is some unfortunate noise in the statistics, because of abusers.

    Avoiding Chinese companies is a factor for me, BUT if the choice is between a Chinese company that wouldn’t comply with a five-eyes data request vs one that would, then I would definitely prefer my data be stolen by a foreign country that doesn’t see me as a sovereign risk

    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)
