Reply #5: People always die when high-density energy sources are involved.

[GliderGuider]

According to WHO, 2 million people a year die from air pollution primarily caused by burning fossil fuels.
Over 6,000 people die in coal mining accidents every year, and over 10,000 contract black lung disease.
People die in refinery and pipeline fires.
Lumberjacks die cutting trees for firewood.
Homeowners die in gas explosions, electrical fires, fires from wood stoves.

Every energy source carries risks. Uranium is special in one way, though. Along with its real risks it carries a crushing burden of paranoia and fear.

Oil and gas is now starting to run out. We have less than 10 years to get as much other energy in place as possible, or dying from radiation will be the least of anyone's worries.
