apples to apples , would be to compare all domestic electrical risks, especialy accidents involving serious injury and fatalities,over time. There is going to be a significant drop in serious accidents after the introduction of breakers and gfi's ,vs, when there were only fuses, and all to often the fuses were replaced with a copper penny. And they were two wire with no neutral.So two different appliences could be reverse grounded in the same area, bad bad budaboom. So in these kinder ,ha!, more grounded times, its likely that total risk is still going down, as older legacy wireing is replaced. There is still many thousands of miles of tube and knob wireing, still carrying current. With.a significant rise in the proportion of transportation, bieng converted to electrical power, there will be an increase in "electrical" accidents, but I think that ,if that was compared to the accidents occuring now with gasoline powered transport, again the numbers will be falling. Gasoline is nasty, dangerous stuff, which is very similar to the electrolite in lithium batteries, except that there is much much more of it around....anf I have yet to see comparisons done, based on actual total accident rates, to the point that ,there is never any mention of the total gasoline fires.
