Re: Yang is approaching this issue from a position of technical merit and not on an irrational emotional basis like most others.
Unfortunately, politics is not rational. Energy sources that kill slowly but gradually make less news and attention than "death spike" patterns even if their long-term-average numbers are better. If you don't address political patterns, then you will be bulldozed by trolls and demagogues who leverage emotion and vague impressions. If you go on the news with death-rate charts, you'll be ridiculed by the same people who beat up and shunned nerds in school. I'm just the messenger.
