Anyone who remembers Jane Fonda’s outstanding performance in China Syndrome knows that nuclear power is dangerous. Very, very dangerous. It’s a damn killer is what it is. In fact, the only thing more dangerous than a dose of radiation is a dose of perspective.
British columnist James Delingpole explains what we mean:
Nuclear fatalities in the last ten years: 7
Wind farm fatalities in the last ten years: 44.In those ten years nuclear provided thirty times the energy of wind. This means in the last decade, nuclear has been around 200 times safer than wind on an energy produced/accidents basis.
Note: Wind farm statistics include neither birds killed by turning blades nor eco-wackos killed by the turn of events.
