If 62 Dam’s breaking aren’t a direct consequence of sino and Soviet engineers installing dams to generate hydroelectric power because irresponsible engineers didn’t do the proper math to make functional safe dams and accidentally got 130k to 260k Chinese drowned…
Then how is it a valid argument that nuclear power isn’t safe due to the same mistakes by the engineers who failed to properly safeguard fukishima or Chernobyl or three mile island and accidently killed about 4000 Japanese, Ukrainans and Americans. .
That 4.000 death number is only from liquidators alone aka frontline workers with the most radiation exposure. It doesn’t take into account the excess death rate from people dying of cancer in the long run due to environmental radiation from the disaster where deaths could go into the tens of thousands. Like your numbers are absolute bullshit.
Right? So now we’re comparing Soviet weapons labs to power generation. Okay fine, I’ll play ball.
Casualties
270,000-500,000+ affected
. 10,000–12,000 evacuated
. At least 200 people died of radiation sickness,
unknown estimated future death toll from radiation induced illness.
66 diagnosed cases of chronic radiation syndrome
that’s 266+ dead and another 25 to 100 likely from long term exposure and contamination casualties over the next century.
More like 10k to 50k long term deaths due to effects of radiation exposure like cancer. Cancer rates among those affected by radiation are way higher than you assume.

Dams braking arent a direct consequence of renewables, but a flaw of the engineering. Also your argument bears no merit against wind and solar.
Your comment is deeply dishonest and bad faith.
Whoosh.

Your comment is not correct.
From Chernobyl alone, and only in Belarus, Russia and Ukraine, and only from cancer, there have been 27’000 deaths. http://allthingsnuclear.org/post/4704112149/how-many-cancers-did-chernobyl-really-cause-updated
Then there’s all of the other bullshit. 270’000 people irradiated in this accident alone https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyshtym_disaster
Then there’s all of the nice little things like the literal mafia dumping nuclear waste https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toxic_waste_dumping_by_the_'Ndrangheta
Or dumping it into the oceans https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocean_disposal_of_radioactive_waste
Or Germany putting nuclear waste into plain metal barrels and putting them into a salt mine. Since metal and salt mix so well. https://www.dw.com/en/germanys-leaking-nuclear-waste-dump/video-69502364
Clearly one braking dam is an argument against wind turbines and solar panels. Oh the horror and deaths of free rooftop electricity to power ACs.
How many times am I going to hear about Chernobyl or Three Mile Island?

How many die each day from petrochemical fumes?

Until you realize that a water dam is very different from a solar panel.
