Nuclear plant shutdowns tied to coal pollution, decreased birth weights
Closing nuclear power plants and replacing them with coal power plants is simply criminal. In Europe, coal pollution kills ~20,000 people each year (<i>), nuclear never killed a single person, and no study could ever provide any mortality increase due to nuclear energy (outside the Tchernobyl accident, which killed between 200 and 4000 people depending on estimations, after 20 years of study)<p>To be clear: nuclear is not the perfect solution, is not a renewable energy, and will have to be replaced by something else in the future. But this is the least deadly energy, even safer than wind or solar power (</i>)<p>(<i>) <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theguardian.com&#x2F;environment&#x2F;2013&#x2F;jun&#x2F;12&#x2F;european-coal-pollution-premature-deaths" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theguardian.com&#x2F;environment&#x2F;2013&#x2F;jun&#x2F;12&#x2F;european...</a>
