23. Yes, it really is the safest way of producing electricity.

Nuclear power is less damaging to human health than making electricity from coal, oil or even clean-burning natural gas. That’s even more true if the predicted effects of climate change are thrown in. Compared with nuclear power, coal is responsible for five times as many worker deaths from accidents, 470 times as many deaths due to air pollution, and more than 1,000 times as many cases of serious illness. There have been less than 300 deaths directly attributed to nuclear power in its entire history. That might seem like a lot, but it pales in comparison to the deaths caused by literally every other form of power generation. Not to mention the environmental effects. Even supposedly 'clean' means of power generation is far worse for the environment than nuclear. Particularly in the case of solar power. Once solar plants and photovoltaic cells are produced, they're clean, sure, but making them is another story. Not to mention they're incredibly inefficient compared to nuclear.
