feel free to convince me ... with some real numbers.

Why is solar more harmful then nuclear? They release less green house gas and no nuclear waste...

Read message #23 in this thread, which sites a reference saying the following (in summary):

This may be true, but it ignores accidents, waste management, military deaths to protect, etc.
