For some reason, this seems to have omitted solar power from the list of examples of technologies that have a higher body count than nuclear power. In the meantime, let's examine how many cities have needed to be evacuated due to the catastrophic failure of solar plants.
I'm pretty sur solar kill more per generated MW than wind.
The main difference is that solar/wind only kill or inconvenience/maim blue collar workers. It's like chemical spills in North America, you only hear about it if it inconvenience white collar or large owners, if it's only 30k blue collar workers, it'll hardly make national news.
Damn ;), but they "waste" the lakes downstream by making them shallower by siltation over decades, not millenia, and "waste" the ecology and biology upstream by flooding the valleys they dam.
Neither would nuclear plants, if the world came to its senses and built breeder reactors: Their "waste" is fuel for other reactors.
> Nuclear being much more heavily regulated is due directly to it’s intrinsic dangers.
Partly that, and partly (IMO in much larger part) due to scaremongering propaganda. Like you seem to have bought in to.
