Sure, but now we've gone from an increase of 80% to less than half of that just by adjusting for population. Now, why do you think they picked 2009? Were cars magically safer that year, or perhaps because it's the year after the e

It's a pretty high bar. Three mile island has a lifetime production of ~250 TWh, coal kills ~25 people per TWh. So if it had killed ~6000 people it would be within the accepted norms of the energy industry for anything that isn't
