As opposed to premature deaths from fossil fuel emissions, deaths of rooftop solar installers (surprisingly common), wars in the Middle East involving oil interests, drowning and environmental damage from dam failures, etc, etc.
One Parkersburg, WV is already one too many, yet next to nothing is done.
Chernobyl area is still no man's land, 40 years later.
That’s because nobody is allowed to settle there. Living in Parkersburg, WV is arguably more dangerous due to the water contamination, it just hasn’t been designated an exclusion zone.

Check out some videos by Chornobyl Family and you’ll see the state of the environment there.
