That is a startling graph. I am all for nuclear power plants, although I think building cost are extremely high due to government regulations. I am not sure the US will really get behind building more nuclear plants for years to come unless restrictions change.

My first thought was that graph could be used as ammo by Obama to fuel his continued quest to force the closure of coal plants for energy by all the EPA regulations they have imposed. Even though the US stat is less than 10% of the world average of deaths per coal, I think the graph would still look lopsided compared to nuclear power.

Any US only graphs out there?
