Are you arguing about nuclear safety compared to fossil fuels with me? I was aware of those numbers, thank you.
But I asked for cases where arthurcolle was spreading missinformation, which is what you claimed and which is what I perceived as an unecessary attack.
Perhaps you should finish reading the threads to discover his numerous self-admissions of limited knowledge and incorrect statements when confronted with people who cite sources
