For solar, it looks like falls from a roof are accounted, to make the number scarier. I see an asterisk near to the number for solar, but no explanation of it, nor break down of the number.

I asked for death per turbine not per TWh.
Nuclear energy provides lots of TWh so it skews the statistics in their favor.
That's like comparing death by train accident or plane accident. Planes are better per kilometer but worse per hour.
Nuclear deaths is 90 per TWh
Wind death toll is 150 per TWh
Solar 440/TWh
and leading the pack is Coal at 100000/1Twh produced
The question is, as always with nuclear: Do you want constant, verified, 100% certain deaths every day or do you risk a larger death toll that may or may not happen some time in the future?
