Whereas, grid tied de-centralised solar or wind, helps significantly boost system efficiency by supplying people in the same neighbourhood with electricity when you make more than you need.


World wide:
How many people have been killed in operational nuclear power plant accidents during the last 20 years?

How many people have been killed by accidents related to wind power during the last 20 years?


In North America:
Same two questions, but during the last 55 years...
