No, wind turbines are not tornado-proof. However, Nuclear power plants ARE tornado-proof.
Scrub Puller, the Forbes report above DOES include the complete nuclear fuel cycle, unlike earlier reports. Even after these extra deaths are accounted for, nuclear energy is safer than wind or solar or hydro power. Nuclear is also the only form of safe power that is available 24 hour by 365 days per year, and thus is suitable for baseline power generation.
California has just scaled back on hydropower, for the first time in decades. As with Germany, we will face a large decrease in renewable energy output this year. In our case, the cause is drought, rather than a lack of political willpower.
