2. Wind turbine failure..

It's true that we haven't had a negative human health impact due to wind turbines.

The same can be said for nuclear power. However, everyone is concerned about a potential for health impact.

I saw a news report on the incident shown in this video:



The reporters interviewed a woman who had pieces of wind turbine sailing over her house. Now, if those pieces of wind turbine had a little less energy, they might have impacted on her house.

So there's still a potential for health effects due to wind energy.

That's not a legitimate reason to oppose wind energy; just like it's not a legitimate reason to oppose nuclear power.
