How many birds, bats and insect that they feed on are killed (or never get to live) by uranium mining: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Ranger_3_open_pit.jpg ?

Per watt, I'm willing to bet (without evidence) that the ratio is quite favorable. Yeah the open pit looks bad, but uranium has a simply stupendous amount of energy. And the damage is well localized (while renewables tend to need a lot of area).
