"Coal-fired plants emit more radiation in their immediate environment than their nuclear equivalents". There. I once tried to find other facts that could support this dumb-ass title, and I was unable to. Coal mining produces a tiny tiny amount of radioactive contamination, and the amount of radiation in fly ash seems to dwarf the amount of radioactive stuff we lose in the nature because of accidents and nuclear waste storage and that kind of stuff. Even if you state that premise as "coal power has some radioactive waste issues", it's still a lie.
