It's not just about deaths. That's the thing. People can get sick, the environment gets polluted. A whole town got pulled out of their flats and was never allowed back. The area will remain closed for generations.

Counting deaths does not do the actual damage justice.

How does that measure against a whole planet being pulled out of thermal equilibrium, and the projected displacement of 1 billion people?

How many towns were closed in order to strip mine coal? And no, that's not just a thing of the past but still happening today.

How many people's health was impacted from coal and coal burning exhaust, which btw. also includes radioactive particles.

Defending nuclear by saying coal is worse is kinda weird and comes across as "motivated reasoning". Nobody worth listening to wants more coal.
