I never really understood the arguments against nuclear.

From the data I'm able to find, coal energy results in about 170,000 deaths per trillion kilowatt-hours globally, compared to about 90 deaths per trillion kilowatt-hours generated from nuclear.

That would mean that burning coal for energy is nearly 2000x more dangerous than nuclear power.

Is there something more to the opposition's argument than safety? Or is this just a case of the public being misinformed?
