Atomheads roll out the strawman called coal and car accident statistics and make the baseless claim that no human has been killed as a result of a nuclear power generation, in terms of death per Gigwatt generated. Therefore, any discussion of the downsides of nuclear energy is just a bunch of ignorant rubes who lack an understanding of statistics.

If you mention the children born in the Ukraine and Belarus with horrific mutations and short lifespans, it will be either attributed to coal or spun to have nothing to do with the Chernobyl meltdown at all -- maybe the mother was playing with Uranium.
