83. I share your concern about radiation, and deaths due to power plants
I just find it strange that you want to zealously fight to the death to end nuclear when coal power plants kill dozens to hundreds as many people.

Here is my post in response to your post #28:
"Excellent job of posting the truth about coal pollution, the uncontrolled radiation and toxic metals that coal plants spew out.

Coal filth is right. Long term cancer, 2,800 heart attack deaths each year, 1 million deaths worldwide each year.

You and I agree that coal needs to be stopped - ASAP."

Your opposition to nuclear is understandable --it is your religion, your agenda-- but truth will win out in the end: COAL KILLS by its normal operation, nuclear only kills when an extraordinary event happens. And even then coal kills far more people under any case.

The anti-nuke posts have stated that Chernobyl will kill 1.4 million people. That's terrible. Such a huge number of deaths is sickening to me. What is even more sickening is in that same time frame Coal will kill 25 million people at the very least.

Coal kills 25 million people
Nuclear kills 1.4 million people

Solution: Let's get rid of nuclear. :dunce:
