County of St. Paul considering 1.5-kilometre wind turbine setbacks #AB: The County of St. Paul is exploring new rules that could require wind turbines to be built at least 1.5 kilometres away from homes. The discussion happened during a recent council meeting as councillors debated how much control municipalities should have over renewable energy projects and whether Alberta needs clearer province-wide standards. Reeve Glen Ockerman said council… https://www.wind-watch.org/news/2026/05/28/county-of-st-paul-considering-1-5-kilometre-wind-turbine-setbacks/ #windpower #windenergy

(archive: 2010) Responses of the Ear to Infrasound and Wind Turbines: The Bottom Line The commonly held belief that low frequency sounds you cannot hear cannot affect the inner ear is incorrect. Our paper reviews well-established publications by the leading scientists in the field of auditory physiology and concludes that the outer hair cells of the cochlea are stimulated by very low frequency sounds at up to 40 dB below the level that is heard.… https://www.wind-watch.org/documents/responses-of-the-ear-to-infrasound-and-wind-turbines/ #windpower #windenergy

Great news from Europe! In early 2026, Germany and the UK have seen a remarkable rise in wind electricity generation, despite rising gas prices. This defies predictions of a coal comeback, showing a strong commitment to #WindPower and a shift towards #CleanEnergy. Experts are excited about this positive trend for #ClimateAction, proving that renewable energy can significantly reduce carbon emissions. Let’s keep pushing for a sustainable future! https://carbon-pulse.com/512410/
