If your railing about Fukushima on a planet where seven million people die each year from air pollution, there is absolutely no point in even discussing this issue with you, period.
Here's a report, from the primary scientific literature, on this topic even if you clearly couldn't give a shit:
A comparative risk assessment of burden of disease and injury attributable to 67 risk factors and risk factor clusters in 21 regions, 1990–2010: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2010 ( Lancet 2012, 380, 2224–60: For air pollution mortality figures see Table 3, page 2238 and the text on page 2240.)
I'm sure you'll have a wonderful summer weekend, even though on Saturday and Sunday, about 38,000 people will die from air pollution.
Since you're so concerned, and so content to complain about Fukushima, maybe you can report to us - only reputable peer reviewed papers are acceptable and not some horseshit website - how many people died from radiation exposure at Fukushima.
How many oil workers were vaporized on the Deep Water Horizon platform? Any concern about the epidemiology of crude oil residues in the Gulf of Mexico, or is all Fukushima all the time? How many people wee vaporized by the Alpha Piper Explosion?
Fukushima...Fukushima...Fukushima.
The ignorance connected with the idiots muttering these words all day long is written clearly in the planetary atmosphere.
Listen, kiddie. Nuclear energy need not be perfect, nor without risk to be vastly superior to everything else. It only needs to be vastly superior to everything else which it is.
More of the same, more horseshit about solar and wind, is not going to change the clear facts, nor the clear results in the data in the opening post.
Oh, as it happens, a solar panel was ripped off a telephone pole on my block during Hurricane Sandy, and although no one was injured by it, it caused me to reflect on the stupidity of the popularity of so called "renewable energy." Since, unlike the airheads muttering "Fukushima...Fukushima...Fukushima..." all the time, I have opened science books and scientific journals, I happened to know what that solar cell was made of; it was a First Solar job, a cadmium telluride piece of electronic waste. It left me more than a little concerned, but after six months or so, someone finally came by and picked it. They probably hauled it to a landfill, where it will leach cadmium into the ground water for centuries.
The world's largest, by far, form of climate change free primary energy is nuclear energy, and all of my posts on climate change, resulting from three decades of burying my head in the primary scientific literature, are about precisely that.
The effects of dumb, uneducated people criticizing the world's largest, by far, source of climate change gas free primary energy are written in the data at Mauna Loa.
Have a nice weekend.
