Poor air from coal fired power stations has almost certainly killed more people.SuburbanFarmer wrote: ↑Wed Jan 16, 2019 10:23 pmTough to say whether that’s better or worse than coal stacks and mercury though.TheReal_ND wrote: ↑Wed Jan 16, 2019 7:22 pmIt will take some decades before the live cores in fukishima become inert if ever.

For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

Even solar panels kill more people than nuclear.
https://www.news.com.au/national/south- ... c9f2ecc3fbStudies based on World Health Organisation data and other sources found that globally, about 100 people die for each terawatt-hour of electricity produced by coal, 36 from oil, four from natural gas, 0.44 for rooftop solar and 0.04 from nuclear.

Shame there is no breakdown. I wonder why it specifies''rooftop'' solar too.Hastur wrote: ↑Thu Jan 17, 2019 4:21 amEven solar panels kill more people than nuclear.

Are the figures made up from accidents during mining for panel components or simply people falling off roofs while installing them?
Neither of which are a direct result of the actual production of energy.
Maybe it is poorly installed panels falling off roofs and hitting people.
Could be deaths during the manufacturing process.
Frustrating not having more information.

Here's an interesting talk-talk from Kirk Sorensen at https://flibe-energy.com/ directed to a lay audience about the future of Thorium.
