3		-What about safety? The accident at Fukushima after the Japanese tsunami in 2011 has gripped the world. Yet no one has died from radiation released, and the World Health Organization anticipates no uptick in associated deaths will occur. By contrast, a million people die every year of health problems caused by the pollution from coal. A dam break in China in 1971 killed over a hundred thousand people. Rare earth mining for materials used in solar panel construction, EV batteries and wind turbines is currently poisoning a chunk of inner Mongolia. There is no absolutely risk-free, pollution free way to generate energy, as James Conca has pointed out in a well-circulated article in Forbes, How Deadly is Your Kilowatt. But over its lifetime, Conca points out, "Nuclear has the lowest deathprint" relative to the amount of energy it produces. Meanwhile, safer meltdown-proof reactors are currently being developed around the world. Choosing to build more nuclear power plants is going to require a mental shift for a lot of people. In their letter, conservation scientists called for the environmental community to move beyond "idealistic perceptions of what is ‘green’" and think practically about trade-offs around energy. As the scientists suggest, no solution that’s currently visible can match nuclear’s steady, CO2-free power for keeping our world safe from biodiversity and climate impacts.
