But no sun or wind gods that we need to worry about?

Probably you don't drill into sun or wind, thus not producingj any unholy disturbance to the relevant deities.

Wind turbines do locally screw with the wind, that's why you can't put them too close to each other. But it's temporary and goes away when the turbine get decommissioned, so maybe that's the difference. Or maybe the wind is traditionally meant to be harnessed (boats) but volcanic energy is not?
