So, your argument is that because it's harder to make judgements about the impact of fossil fuels, surely our judgement about nuclear power must be worse?

My argument is that I don't find those stats compelling. Nothing more, nothing less.

Isn't your analysis a victim of what Nassim Taleb calls the narrative fallacy? The fight is between "true" and "false", not "compelling" and "abstruse".

I don't understand what you're saying. I am skeptical that the conclusion drawn from the previous stats follows logically from the stats themselves.
