Compare that to health concerns from mining, processing and burning fossil fuels as well as contamination due to leaks. Nukes don't lose there and there are well over 100 years of use to show the effects fossil fuels have.
That's true

Can't deny that nuclear disasters in the past have had pretty huge consequences though. Nukes at the end of the day cause MASSIVE destruction. But i'm with you, fossil fuels and the like are probably just as bad.
