I think you just contradicted yourself in that same sentence

No, I'm saying that saying the radiation concerns specifically of coal output isn't a concern with regards to health.

[-] Womble@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

You're right coal deaths are just confined to mines, respiratory illnesses and excess cancers from chronic low dose exposure.

[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago

it's fucking awful and causes way more deaths than nuclear power plants.

No, I'm saying that saying the radiation concerns specifically of coal output isn't a concern with regards to health.

So chronic low level exposure to radiation is fine?

[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

I'm not saying it's fine, I'm saying it feels like an order of magnitude less of a concern compared to all of the other bad things that can happen from coal smoke.
