No, the problem is that nuclear is overall safest it contributes a large portion of electricity and small percent of all deaths. Because it's both a powerful source and its nature makes people very careful, so they generally are good at avoiding stupid mistakes. The nature of other power sources is that have a slow trickle of uninspiring deaths - worker falls into turbine (OH NO THE TURBINES ARE EVIL!), person falls off a roof installing solar panels, workers killed in a mine, workers killed on the oil rig. They are so small and numerous it becomes background noise. When nuclear powerplant goes bad, it goes with a bang. International press coverage, rescue operations, etc. Look at Fukushima. It took a friggin' tsunami to mess up that old plant and even then, they managed to avoid Chernobyl scenario.
