I believe that more people are hurt or killed per MWh of wind power than by

other electrical energy sources. These deaths and injuries have occurred

during maintenance operations including falls and electrocutions. But I

don't have any data to support this belief.



As well as being ugly, wind power units kill birds. Maybe these wind

turbines serve as a scarecrow too.
