Coal power kills a million people every year. Go check how many die from nuclear then x15 that as a thought experiment and then tell me which technology is dangerous and half baked

Are you comparing deaths so far or total lifetime mortality of the effluent from both processes?

I guess people don’t like abandoning entire cities for decades when an accident happens.

Better to evacuate a city than kill a city--and that's what coal does. It's just the deaths are spread out and not attributed to coal.

Besides, Fukushima shouldn't have been evacuated.
