What is interesting is the way the pro-nuclear lobby concentrates on
the power stations, at least as far as nuclear is concerned. They
don't do this accidentally.

However, in the case of coal the same people are happy to being the
deaths of thousands of coal miners into their discussion. The double
standards are amusing.

What double standards?

The ones I outlined. The deaths of thousands of coal miners in China
is often mentioned by the pro-nuclear lobby. However, they are less
keen to mention the deaths of miners in uranium mines, or the
thousands of dead from radioactive releases in the Soviet Union (and
I suspect that when we find out what has been going on in China in
this regard it will be at least as bad as the Soviet Union).
