My post contains reference to a scientific publication giving the daily death toll connected with the use of dangerous fossil fuels, to which you haver no comment other to claim that the only reason that anyone can take an ethical position is for money.
It's a pretty typical response I've heard over the last 30 years from anti-nukes. Almost all of them have a very low ethical reasoning ability, thinking in a rather bourgeois fashion that the entire world is about money.
I work in the pharmaceutical industry, if you must know. I really have no need to tell anti-nukes what I do for a living, but given their obvious hatred of science, I'll make an exception here, and let you know that the evil life saving industry in which I work is the pharmaceutical industry. I'm a scientist.
Since you already clearly are unfamiliar with epidemiological science, and hate it, and can't identify 19,000 people who died from plutonium equivalent to the death toll from air pollution in the last 50 years that will take place today from air pollution, I'll take this as further indication that anti-nukes are equivalent to anti-vaxxers.
In general both sets of people kill other people by trumpeting their ignorance.
Nuclear energy doesn't need to be risk free to save lives, any more than vaccines or antibiotics or cancer drugs need to be risk free to save lives:
Nevertheless, the famous climate scientist Jim Hansen and a colleague have published a very famous and widely read scientific publication statically showing the mechanism by which nuclear energy saves lives.
Prevented Mortality and Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Historical and Projected Nuclear Power (Pushker A. Kharecha* and James E. Hansen Environ. Sci. Technol., 2013, 47 (9), pp 4889–4895)
Of course, antinukes don't have "time" to read scientific publications, don't care about their contents.
I am spectacularly disinterested in the use of time by anti-nuke anti-vax types like say the famous fool Robert F. Kennedy, but when an idiotic statement he makes becomes makes its way around the internet, ethical people are appalled.
Most of the time people of this unethical and ignorant ilk spend is directed toward pernicious indifference to human life, and thus is worthless.
I'd suggest opening a science book, but people who hate science, present company included, experience teaches, won't do so.
