    Yes but we don’t know how nuclear energy’s pollution would scale at a similar level. A few countries with loose regulations leading to accidents could quickly change the numbers, for example. A similar scale would also probably require mini-reactors, and there has been much regulatory concern about the risks of these. So it’s not a fair comparison when presented as such. Perhaps a fair comparison could still be made with more information, I’ve no opinion on that hypothetical.
