Show me someone who's been harmed by nuclear waste.

[/sarcasm]You also have to consider the effect of the dumped nuclear waste.

Wind turbines don't produce radiation, so no one has died from wind turbine radiation. The deaths are from falls off the nacelles, getting chewed up in the machinery, being cut in half by chunks of falling ice, fires, or smashed by pieces of the blades when they explode. Search for "Windmill/Wind Turbine Explosion" for a video. When you compare all the deaths of Chernobyl with the amount of power nuclear has produced, it's actually safer than wind. Wind power is so small it's negligible.

They dont destroy everything nearby, They pretty much just shatter. And the wont change the weather, They use the wind plus a small amount of the energy they produce to spin the blades which just move the air past.

but how many people have died from wind turbine radiation?

They drank 6tins of redbull each, grew wings, then flew up. Ok?

That's a retarded concern. Yes, lots of turbines would change the weather, but it will just be the opposite effect of deforestation, so it would help return things to the way they used to be.I'm more concerned about the prohibitive cost of turbines for the very small amounts of power produced, and their propensity to kill workers and utterly destroy everything nearby when they fail.

Wind turbines produce so little energy that they're actually more dangerous than Chernobyl, when you compare deaths per watt-hour produced.

More like 9-18 years!

Props on the music choice.
