- pjmlp 5mo ago"No one died directly from the disaster. However, 40 to 50 people were injured as a result of physical injury from the blast, or radiation burns." Selective view of the victims?
- lionkor 5mo agoBrown coal power kills that many people in a good year directly, not mentioning the long term health effects of exposure to brown coal smoke (even if filtered).
- pjmlp 5mo agoYeah people are sniffing lines of coal. /s
- lionkor 5mo agoLol, but really coal power plants are more dangerous work environments, coal mining as well, and then of course there's the pollution (which, opposed to nuclear, isn't bottled up and stored, and instead just exhausted).
- Tangurena2 5mo agoBased on the number of coal license plates here in KY, yes, they sure do sniff lines of coal. https://secure2.kentucky.gov/kytc/plates/web/LicensePlate/Index/c1a92e2e-4843-45d1-88fc-cf2ca26ca621#plateAnchor https://secure2.kentucky.gov/kytc/plates/web/LicensePlate/In... One almost never sees any of the other 11 black license plates. I do expect that to change as the new (black) firefighter license plates replace the old red ones.
