Ackshually the death toll for wind farms is higher than nuclear.

Mostly it's people falling off them when installing or maintaining them.

It's higher than nuclear accidents. I have never seen a comparison that includes nuclear installation, and it would be moot anyway, because most of the nuclear plants were built by different techniques people use today.

Death toll of wind is higher only if you artificially set uranium mining and refining deaths and concrete, steel, and industrial plumbing construction deaths to zero.
