Your chances of being killed by a terrorist are quite low. Quit worrying about it.
Your chances of being killed by a terrorist are quite low. Quit worrying about it. Of course it is your right to agonize over the threat.

Terrorist incidents in the U.S. are quite rare, so estimating off a single year is going to be problematic. Looking at the time-series, what you see is that the vast majority of U.S. terrorism fatalities came during the 9/11 attacks (See this report from the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism.)

Wind and solar in March accounted for 10% of U.S. electricity generation for first time
Source: U.S. Energy Information Administration, Electric Power Monthly
For the first time, monthly electricity generation from wind and solar (including utility-scale plants and small-scale systems) exceeded 10% of total electricity generation in the United States, based on March data in EIA’s Electric Power Monthly. Electricity generation from both of these energy sources has grown with increases in wind and solar generating capacity. On an annual basis, wind and solar made up 7% of total U.S. electric generation in 2016.

Zero to Forty
Zero to forty is a measure used to indicate how fast a car can accelerate. But it is also a pretty good estimate of how many years we have left to live. We could have zero minutes left to live, or forty years, living to a ripe old age.
Social security publishes tables on life expectancy. The table below shows on average how long you will live. A 70 year old male has 14.24 years left, on average, while a 70 year old woman has 16.43 years.
Call it 15 years left, on average +-. Close enough for government work. Make the most of it. Do a little good, have a little fun. Do all the things you want to do. Don't worry, be happy. Get right with your relatives and friends. Live long and prosper.
