This about sums it up
Even better they convinced a bunch of people that all other green ideas are stupid, due to greens being anti nuclear. Hence they get both, no nuclear and no renwables, evs, public transport and the other sensible ideas of the greens.
Link looks fine. I wish that it was just deaths from air pollution. I can't imagine "accidents" being that much of an impact.
For nuclear it does, depening how many cancer deaths have been caused by mainly Chernobyl. That is however massivly disputed, as it thankfully only ever happend once and well the Soviets had no intresst in actually being honest about that. Depending on the measures that can be thousands of deaths, due to an accident.
Idunno, lots of deadly accidents amongst coal miners and offshore oil rig workers, to name a couple..
This is sad. After all humanity doesn't care about a humans life, if they save money.
