EVERY form of energy, even the expensive ones, carries with it a legacy of death that is routinely ignored. Coal energy has much more deaths per one TWh than nuclear energy. Heck, rooftop solar has more deaths per TWh than nuclear energy (working at heights is dangerous). Even wind power has more deaths per TWh than nuclear energy. However, the voters don't care about hard data, they make their decisions based on emotions. -- Leszek 'Leslie' Karlik NTV 650
