Possibly true (can't verify the numbers, but know them to be non-zero). Now let's have the excess death figures for other forms of power generation, starting with coal-fired steam plants... Bottom line: there are no cost-free power technologies - only better and worse ones. So the figures are meaningless unless other power technologies' excess deaths are presented for comparison. Without those, the article is just scare tactics. Marc de Piolenc ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ---------------------~--> Small business owners...
