Nuclear makes more power than renewables at such a disgusting ratio that per KW/h renewables actually cost more lives, even when including deaths and anyone potentially effected from nuclear accidents. Yes those accidents. I don't like renewable power because it's way too small scale for what's required. Nuclear is the safest it's ever been and is more than a viable alternative to coal and oil, full stop.
