    Renewables have killed closer to 180,000.

    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.

          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.

          How many die each day from petrochemical fumes?

            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.

        How many times am I going to hear about Chernobyl or Three Mile Island?

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