Want to figure out how many people have died because of wind power, 12 world wide.
3 deaths from installing solar panels in California alone

I tend to agree. Although that's my view of generation 4 nuclear power plants ( and gen 3 updated plants), I think the current plants located on earthquake fault lines using 1970s level tech (non-updated) are potential big big issues. I think many are coming up on their end of life span, nevertheless.
