Can you show that the rate of fatality for uranium mining is more then 13630 times the rate of fatality of coal mining per kilogram (or cubic meter)? (Including secondary effects of both)
At the end of the day, that specifically is what we are trying to find out.
- lispm 16y agoMaybe you. Not me. I found already out that all Uranium mines here in Western Europe have been closed, mostly because of environmental issues and because they are not economical. I can see every day that millions of people live near coal plants and coal mines - here in Germany. There is is a large movement to shut down coal plants and end coal mining. But that movement still has some miles to go. These are facts. Your calculations based on energy density are useless. Nobody wants to live near a Uranium mine contaminating ground water. No matter how much energy Uranium provides. In more densely populated areas like Europe this is hopeless. The existing Uranium mines are almost all located in areas where not the consumers of nuclear electricity live.
