Death Rates by Energy Production

Author: Colin

Caption: The graphic is a manipulation of a chart from OurWorldInData.org titled “Death rates from energy production per TWh” which depicts a breakdown of the rates of death from accidents and air pollution per terawatt-hour caused by varying sources of energy. The graphic is designed to make the original chart more digestible while displaying the contrast between common sources of energy production and energy from nuclear. The graphic is inspired by artwork by scientist and artist Jill Pelto.
