Comment on rollin' coal
fellowmortal@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 month agoThere is an intrinsic micro-mort rate for working on a roof. If you take this number and work out how many hours are spent working at height fitting solar panels it’s fairly easy to put the annual deaths from fitting solar panels far above that of nuclear.

If you do that then count the deaths finding and acquiring nuclear materials, the political tensions nuclear materials cause and any related deaths, the deaths of people building the plant, the engineers that died in car accidents in the decade going back and forth to the office in their gas car in the plant planning stages, etc.
There is no perfect energy source, we should stop looking for “the one”, use the nuclear plants we have as we degrow and use more green energy (which is a scam if sold as a solution for eco problems on it’s own).
