Device uses wind to create ammonia out of air
I wonder what are the side effects of extracting nitrogen out of air -- supposing this was developed and deployed at scale.

I doubt much. We've been pumping billions of tons of co2 and only slightly raised co2 and that's a small small portion of the air in the atmosphere.

It's 80% of the atmosphere. You're not going to run out. What might be a risk is dumping it, nitrogenation of rivers is already a problem in places.

We already make ammonia from the nitrogen in the air.
