Wind vs Nuclear: Relative Danger
To follow up with the previous post, The Power of Wind, here’s a little something from The New American: Wind vs. Nuclear Power: Which Is Safer?. Basically, it argues that wind farms are more prone to accidents than nuclear plants.
While I don’t want to express my opinion on the matter (one nuclear disaster is far more devestating than all the wind farm accidents put together), I find that it’s still interesting to consider this comparison. Because of the severity and the huge impact of nuclear accidents, all the safety and accountability measures put in place at nuclear sites have proven successful and have largely allowed us to experience nuclear energy relatively incident-free.
What do you think?
