replyOr you know, just build renewables and storage. Displace vastly more coal faster with a death per kWh where the only injuries comes from traditional construction and mechanical industry work.
replyNo need for any special casing.

replyStill count.
They do count, but look at it from a societal perspective.
replyFor the general public no harm can come their way.
Unless they through some mechanical failure manage to walk underneath a wind turbine shedding or collapsing.
Same with solar. Which is even less risky.
For nuclear power the about all effects from a large scale failure will impact society through either radiation or life changing evacuations.
And then society is on the hook to pay for the entire cleanup work.
For renewables the only people who get harmed are those who work in the industry. The risk for the general public is zero.
> measured harm/deaths adjusted by the amount of power generated
replyIn this case, we find that nuclear nuclear reactors are 2 orders of magnitude more dangerous than gas and coal power plants.
do you account for all the air pollution and downstream health effects coal power plants cause?
