        Hydro destroys environments, uses enormous amounts of concrete and the related disasters have killed orders of magnitude more people than nuclear.

          Yeah if three gorges broke then it would be the biggest mass death event in human history. Hydro dams are at the bottom of my list

          Orders of magnitude more than nuclear is a low bar, nuclear is quite safe. How does it compare to coal or oil?

      perfectly valid point to bring up on a community dedicated to hating on polluters even if it was originally just a joke. Pretty serious matters
