What kind of accidents should I think of? Exploding batteries, electrical
shortcuts?

Now I see what you mean, but how many animals would be killed by pollution

wind-mills does depend very much on where those mills are. It seems that
birds have very distinct flying routes (downto 100 metres accurate).
