The definition of "safer" is fewer people killed per kilowatt hour of energy generated. By that very reasonable metric, nuclear power is objectively less deadly

The definition of "safer" is fewer people killed per kilowatt hour of energy generated. By that very reasonable metric, nuclear power is objectively less deadly than rooftop solar or wind turbines.
- michaelmrose 8y agoPeople are usually more ok with predictable risks that can be mitigated by the parties involved. Example taking proper safety precautions against falls vs oops we melted down and gave you cancer 10 years later.
- unityByFreedom 8y ago> People are usually more ok with predictable risks This ignores the point of above comments which is to educate people about which energy is safer per kWh generated. It's not like solar/wind installations are done w/out safety precautions already. Per kWh generated, nuclear is safer.
