Tell us more about the death count from solar. Is it all people falling off roofs?


Pretty much yea. So not exactly a fair comparison because e.g. grid level solar doesn't necessarily involve roof climbing.

But given current installation base, it's like 3x more deaths per unit energy than wind.


I don't know how reliable it is, but the first link I clicked on contradicts your assertion: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/death-rates-from-energy-p...


Got a source for that?
