Yep, and the major killer with Wind is people falling off of the turbines.
Hydro is extremely safe except for a handful mass casualty incidents that completely skew the numbers. Nuclear is in the same boat, with really just 1 significant incident.

Sure, maybe in terms of bystander deaths solar or wind are slightly better than nuclear but both are orders of magnitude better than anything that involves burning. The amount of pollution and radiation that burning fossil fuels emits is orders of magnitude more harmful to the general public than anything that solar, wind or nuclear does.
