Le Hollandais Volant#21861 - The Renewable Energy Disaster Far More Deadly Than Chernobyl | RealClearScience
Decades ago, a single energy disaster left three million acres of land uninhabitable to humans and killed between 85,600 and 240,000 people. A casual student of history might assume these shocking statistics refer to the Chernobyl nuclear accident, but that would be incorrect.
Quel est le plus gros désastre écologique lié à une unique centrale énergétique, qui tua des dizaines, voire centaines de milliers de personnes et rendit 12 000 kilomètres carrés inhabitables ?
Cherche encore, c’est pas Chernobyl.
No, this catastrophic specter was the fault of the Banqiao Dam collapse in Henan, China. By comparison, Chernobyl killed fifteen times fewer people and desolated an area of land one-sixth as large.
