>The worst part is, we can become as green as you can get in Germany, The worst part is that Germany still burns a great deal of coal. One estimate is that worldwide use of coal causes up to 800,000 deaths a year - this is much worse than all deaths from nuclear, including the bombs that were dropped on Japan. https://endcoal.org/health/ https://endcoal.org/health/ Even with the advanced air pollution controls on coal plants in Europe, an estimate is that over 20,000 deaths are caused per year due to burning coal. I am not sure how many of these deaths Germany is exporting every year to countries downwind, but it isn't zero. https://news.mongabay.com/2013/06/burning-coal-responsible-for-over-20000-deaths-a-year-in-europe/ https://news.mongabay.com/2013/06/burning-coal-responsible-f... A NASA estimate is that the use of nuclear power has saved approximately 1.8 million lives in the years 1971-2009. https://www.giss.nasa.gov/research/briefs/kharecha_02/ https://www.giss.nasa.gov/research/briefs/kharecha_02/ >...we are just as inhabitable, for eternity. The Chernobyl plant would have been illegal to build anywhere else in the world other than the Soviet Union due to the chance of a disaster and the fact they didn't build a containment dome. With a containment dome, that level of disaster won't occur.
