Glossing over the human death toll caused by the other energy sources is not useful. It's not like the other sources are perfectly safe.
- moksly 5y agoThe human death toll is no doubt greater from fossils, but it’s sort of like traffic safety isn’t it? Something we just live with. In my part of Europe, anyone of my age or above still remembers Chernobyl and how we had to burn farming produce, clothes that had been drying outside and a range of other things, even here in Scandinavia because it wasn’t safe. I don’t think you’re ever going to convince my generation and the ones that came before that Nuclear is a good idea. Because we lived through the risk of Europe becoming inhabitable due to human in competence. But maybe I’m wrong.
