We have no way of verifying that because it's really hard to track.

You know, cancer is very common and it's been increasing for many, many decades.

So it's impossible to trace a specific cancer case back to Chernobyl.

But there are different ways.

And so the estimates are 4,000.

So let's just say Chernobyl called 4,000 deaths or will cause 4,000 deaths.

He would need like at least 200 Chernobyls happening every single year for nuclear to be as dangerous as fossil fuels.

It's illegal.

You wouldn't be able to, but yeah, you'd have to basically try.

Yeah, definitely.

And I think that that's the mistake that some people make is that they'll say fossil fuels are evil and we have to ban fossil fuels.

And in reality, I think that's not a great argument because if you look at human civilization, fossil fuels really are the primary source of energy that have enabled all of our progress as a civilization.

We have hospitals and better health care and all of the things because we've had

access to insane amounts of fossil fuels.

But where I think the argument that people who are just super pro-fossil fuels make that is wrong is that they'll say, well, it's because of fossil fuels themselves.

And in reality, it's just higher access to energy.

That's it.

Wherever that energy is coming from really doesn't matter.

But as long as we can have access to lots of energy to keep building our civilization as it is, that's the best argument.

And so nuclear is just a better way to make electricity in this case, because it's cleaner, because it doesn't put greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
