摘要: We update Burgherr and Hirschberg (2014)’s comparative risk assessment of severe accidents in the energy sector between 1970 2008 by including wind power within an extended framework both non-severe accidents. Within OECD, hazard rate (fatal to output) was initially worse than for fossil fuels, but has now reached efficiency frontier with coal natural gas. Our finding differs a wide margin from current IPCC estimate, which we explain. The rates major technologies are computed OECD rest world compared. then estimate how many people die at home abroad deliver specific area, comparing countries or blocs such as China. conclude contextualization user worker safety wider economy.
