Reply #29: Uranium mining is as bad as coal mining? This is a rather incredible statement.

[NNadir]

Five seconds of googling...

Mine accidents in China killed 6,027 people last year, according to government figures a rate of 16 deaths a day.

Let's see if there's any country on earth - any country - that produces 16 uranium mining deaths per day.

The real problem is that you are willing to arbitrarily ignore coal - which is why you know zero about the subject.

If you don't know what you're talking about, make stuff up.

I'll bet too, your going to tell me it's not either/or too.

You will, of course, not be able to show a fantasy source of energy that produces the same 30 exajoules of energy produced each year by nuclear energy, never mind the 120 exajoules produced by coal.

In general the antinuclear argument is pathetic, but this is pretty much a new height.
