Wind Power Meltdowns

Jack Silverman eavesdrops on Bill Frist and is appalled by his defense of nuclear power:

For all we know, Dr. Frist, he of the Terri Schiavo videotape diagnosis, may be right–assuming, of course, that his statistical analysis began after the Chernobyl disaster in 1986. Still, to suggest that the potential dangers posed by wind power are greater than the potential dangers of another nuclear disaster is absurd to say the least.

A wind turbine may kill a few birds and smack some poor sap in the head, but I don’t think we’re ever likely to see one spew a radioactive cloud that floats over Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Serbia, Croatia, Bulgaria, Greece, Romania, Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia, Finland, Denmark, Norway…well you get the picture.
