I agree. There is too much assumption that harm created by pollution or radiation is perfectly linear, down to tiny amounts. There doesn't seem to be any allowance for hormesis. And, yes, I own solar panels.

Likewise the number skilled by particulates from indoor cooking relies on models that are probably as bad as IPCC's models of global warming. I'm not interested enough to spend the time it would take to prove it. I'll believe photo voltaic power is cheaper when I actually see it. For lighting with a cheap system remember the sun goes away when it gets dark.
