We should have a healthy respect and fear of all forms of energy generation/harvest. Energy is, well, energetic! Everything we have done to produce and harness energy has been dangerous to people, plants, and animals. Stating that nuclear energy is dangerous is just stating a tautology.
The interesting discussion is about the trade-offs relative to other energy sources.
- rbanffy 6y agoI think my PV panels are pretty safe.
- krupan 6y agoYou could kill someone with the output of the inverters very easily. Also, the ones that are placed over "bare land" have killed life that was there on that land before the panels stole the energy that used to hit the land there. That's not to mention what it took to gather materials, manufacture, and transport the panels.

- discordance 6y agoAddressing your first point, microinverters don't push out high voltages and are safer than having a single string inverter.
