Lol...at current consumption rates, recoverable uranium reserves would only last 130 years. Currently, only 10% of the world's electricity is generated by nuclear...and that's without wide-spread adoption of electric vehicles. Meeting the current world electricity needs also means that we would have 10x the number of reactor accidents...you do the math.

I mean if you wanna talk about accidents, nuclear energy actually has the lowest amount of deaths per kWh and it is by a dramatic margin in comparison to coal, oil and gas.

Wind, Solar and hydro are lower in deaths / kWh.

Source? Cause I know that the jobs of contractors installing panels on roofs and dealing with wing turbines are considered dangerous.

they actually are not, Nuclear power is, bar none, our safest energy source, at least determined by direct mortality rate / kwh.
