Power is safety critical. People die in the winter and summer without power. Solar and wind cannot deliver reliable power, particularly during critical emergency weather situations.
So comparing solar and nuclear is a bit like saying a broom is safer to the user than a gun, while ignoring the user is in a gunfight.

My argument was aimed against the claim that nuclear is safe because it hasn't killed many people. It is a common claim and I personally find it annoyingly disingenuous. Nuclear should be argued for without resorting to logical fallacies or falsehoods. (Separately, I believe that solar+storage is the fastest gun in the west) ;-)
