That's fine I like jokes, but  lets see how many people die to produce a 
trillion kilowatt hours of electricity for various energy sources:

 

I like jokes as well… we have something in common. I also like honesty. The 90 
figure you claim for nuclear is willfully ignoring  the full scope of the long 
term impact of that accident. 

Quoting directly from the 2005 WHO report on Chernobyl accident “5 SEPTEMBER 
2005 | GENEVA - A total of up to 4000 people could eventually die of radiation 
exposure from the Chernobyl nuclear power plant (NPP) accident nearly 20 years 
ago, an international team of more than 100 scientists has concluded.” The 
Russian, Ukrainian, Belarussian Academies of science have all published 
mortality figures are by the far higher than the figure of 4000 that the WHO 
has settled on. For example: data, based on Belarus national cancer statistics, 
predicts approximately 270,000 cancers and 93,000 fatal cancer cases caused by 
Chernobyl.

For coal 170.000  people die.

 

For oil 36,000 people die

 

For biofuel 24,000 people die

 

For natural gas 4000 people die

 

For hydroelectric 1400 people die

 

For solar 440 people die

 

For wind 140 people die

 

For nuclear 90 people die.
