To further emphasize your point, coal emissions and other air pollution from fossil is currently killing 4.2 million people per year [1]. Nuclear plants in their entire history have net saved over 2 million lives simply by displacing some of these air pollution deaths (while also preventing over 70 billion tonnes CO2-eq). Nuclear is far far cleaner and safer than coal, and that's an understatement.
