    Nuclear is definitely more green than fossil fuels.

      Even with the radioactive waste material, in 20 years that will just be more fuel for fission reactors. Even taking into account the deaths from atomic bombs, the death rate from nuclear materials is a factor of a few hundred lower than coal power.

        Nuclear is even less killy than hydroelectric (dams sometimes burst and drown a bunch of people downriver) and wind (sometimes technicians fall off when fixing a turbine) per kilowatt hour, despite the potential for really scary failures, largely because it generates so much power when it’s working.

      I agree with that, 100% but for the majority of the world how green it is usually depends on how far-left you are.
