Coal is so bad that we'd have to have one Chernobyl nearly every week all the time to catch up with death rates. Coal deaths per energy: ~ 100k / PWh Coal consumption per year: > 40 PWh Coal deaths per year: >4M Chernobyl death estimates: 4k to 93k Which gives 4M / 93k = 43 Chernobyls per year to catch up with coal (best case estimates).
