That article would indeed be a problem, but only if it ignored either Volvo manufacturing deaths or BMW driving deaths Which is exactly what that article does.

That article would indeed be a problem, but only if it ignored either Volvo manufacturing deaths or BMW driving deaths Which is exactly what that article does. I see no reference to the deaths from uranium mining, or the deaths from industrial accidents at coal power plants. I'm not saying these figures don't exist and certainly not suggesting they suggest nuclear isn't quite so squeaky clean. Other HN commenters have supplied links suggesting uranium mining is much safer. My original point was that misleading comparisons, like the one mentioned, don't help pro nuclear arguments because they are frankly desperate, sensational and don't hold up to scrutiny.
