Greenpeace Shows That Fukushima And Chernobyl Are So Safe That We Should All Go Nuclear

#Energy This isn't, of course, what Greenpease thinks it is showing in this latest report that they've backed but it is indeed the conclusion that we should draw from the research that has been done. For what this report does is lay out the number of people who die in the UK each year from the pollution caused by the burning of coal to generate electricity. And it's a substantial number of people:

Labour will this week urge MPs to vote for tougher controls on Britain's coal-fired power stations forcing them to reduce their emissions and pollution, as new figures show the old-style plants are responsible for 1,600 premature deaths a year. A report from the Health and Environment Alliance has found air pollution from coal plants causes respiratory problems that have a big impact on public health.
