This article contains almost a dozen character attacks on the forbes author- basically every time he is mentioned. Both authors seem to be far off from the number of deaths and cancer rates estimated by the World Health Organization.

If you're going to claim that the entire nuclear industry is evil, and that it's technology is fundamentally dangerous, maybe it would be good to compare it to a competitor like fossil fuels. Their pollution can cause over a million deaths per year.

Comparing the two by casualties per unit of power generated, this makes nuclear power appear something like 100 times safer. It's a simple calculation and if anyone's interested I could add the numbers here.
