Windfarms

It could be argued, similar to Covid 19 that, many would have had comorbidities but the world has gone on high alert on it. Covid 19 has killed 3.4m in the past year.
If the PM2.5 was a pandemic that struck suddenly in Jan 2018 and killed 8.7m in the year, how big would have been the global response? It would be a total emergency and we'd have wind turbines put up all over the place just to reduce the PM2.5 and thus deaths.

This detailed research analysis shows that PM2.5 is causing far more deaths than previously thought. PM2.5 are micro particles released by burning fuels. It lead to the death of 18.7m in 2018. That's one in five deaths.
This if put into a total cost analysis would place the cost of using fossil fuels at a very high level. One has to look to solutions, these include nuclear and renewable energies.

I would say most of those problems are caused by Diesel engines and old coal burning plants(ironically Germany is still heavily dependent on the latter despite their vast spend on solar/wind). Modern NG plants produce very little of that type of pollution so lumping them in with the likes of peat or coal is not comparing like with like

They're opinions labman.god forbid people tend to have them.

Well if diesel is one of the major problems, I'll take an electric car and get the electricity mainly from renewables.
