TMI "hype" galvanized anti-nuclear opposistion. As result less nuclear plants were completed and what took up the slack.... coal. Not just a little but a mountains worth of coal.
So indirectly the accident at TMI, the media hype, and the anti-nukkers lead to hundreds of thousands of extra deaths from fossil fuel.
Of course today we have a chance to correct that three decade mistake. Which is why 55 new nuclear reactors are currently under construction and 98 in planning.
