Burning coal releases more radioactive waste into the air than nuclear.

Huh? I actually felt the whole post was wrong. They measure “waste” without units. That’s wild, like saying that feathers are million times more heavy than iron. It can be true, sure.

Perhaps, to expand a little bit. We can measure energy on different units, and I don’t know how to draw the comparison, but can imagine something (e.g. 1 gram of coal produces N Joules). Then it’s easy to see how the same amount of Uranium could produce M Joules.
But waste… Is it CO2 ? Or H3O ?
