How many people die for the conventional energy production? I would not believe the statistical figments. Are e.g. all those people included who died from diseases upon pollution from burning? Can anybody predict what kind of (Fukushima-type) disasters may occur in the foreseeable future and their toll? The environmental toll of hydroelectric construction and propagation? Who knows the radiation-induced toll if Solar energy steps up with all the new metallic products for the cells? The 'serving' industries must be accountable in a statistical toll of the product industry! Did the statistics include the preparatory processes for the proper energy production, e.g. transportation, drilling/mining/fracking, metallurgy and the extensive plastis production(s) needed for the energy plant operations? (Usually the electric car propaganda articles omit the environmental toll of the electricity-production, only the reduced 'oil' need is harangued). JM
