It only show immediate fatalities but not the long term damage. Nuclear fallout can kill thousands, if not millions through the passage of time.

Of course, you can argue that we're killing 6 billions people by heating up the Earth. So what we truly need is renewable energy source.

Fusion seems to be the answer but it still far from maturing.

For now fission based nuclear plant supplement with decentralized energy generation seems to be the ideal answer. With a decent sized solar panel on every roof of the houses. We eliminate the need of large land area to build solar farm and at the same time reducing the need to generate huge amount of power through nuclear.

They have good reason to fear imo.

Events that cause the Three Mile Island and Chernobyl happens all the time, overheating, equipment failure, human error but were brought under control with ease. What happened at Three Mile Island/Chernobyl are a series of continuous mistakes and failure to rectify the problem that caused the meltdown.

Unless Malaysia has a well trained crew manning these reactor and even with that, people will still be paranoid about having nuclear plant near their home.

What accident? You mean those overheating, equipment failure? Those are inherent problem when you deal with technologies.

It's not accident until someone say 'uh oh'

Solar energy is actually a wasted resource, so every small bit of harvesting counts.

Sunlight contains a lot of energy but the problem is the harvesting method which have pathetic efficiency. We will see that improves in the future to a point that efficiency rate overtakes conventional power plant. Steam based power generator efficiency is not very high. Maybe 30-40%? Majority of the energy are lost through heat and sound.

Nuclear power aren't a total solution to fossil fuel plant because it isn't renewable either. We will eventually run out of fission material. So the ideal 'solution' is to supplement fuel based power plant with renewable energy, reducing the strain on limited fuel, be it uranium or Gas/Oil/Coal

I did mention 'supplement', and not replace

The only renewable energy source currently is hydroelectric but that's because it has a huge buffer unlike solar/wind. At worst case scenario, hydro dam can dry up and electricity stops flowing.

All natural resource depletes eventually. There's still a lot of uranium for us however.

Unless you're able to digest sea water, yes fresh water is depleting faster than uranium.

Mathematics is the universal language for the law of the universe, it's inevitable whether you like it or not, nuclear power is no exception.
