station, yet it'll never get built because people are too afraid.

I saw accident figures for the U.S. back in the mid 70s. At that time, solar
power was the most dangerous power source in the country. This was due to the
fact that most of the installers were amateurs. Most of the accidents involved
someone falling off the roof of a house. At that time, there was an average of
two fatalities each year due to nuclear power, all construction accidents. Since
we don't seem to be building any more plants, I would assume the rate is now 0.
