minus-squareJohnDClay@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 months agoIt actually is though. Even counting Chernobyl it has fewer deaths per kwh than wind energy.
minus-squarereddig33@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 months agoThen I guess Florida has nothing to worry about. I’ve never heard of wind energy killing anyone. Did someone fall off a turbine while servicing it or something?
minus-squareJohnDClay@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up3·2 months agoYeah that’s the most common case. It’s big construction, so there’ll always be some hazard there. Solar is a little lower than nuclear, presumably because you don’t need to work with heights. https://www.statista.com/statistics/494425/death-rate-worldwide-by-energy-source/
