And since you mention Nuclear: The USA has over 100 Nuclear power plants that produced almost 800 Billion kWh in 2013, over 19% total electric output. 6 New reactors will be online by 2020.

I know this bit of info will get me shot, but here you go:
Deaths by Nuclear energy compared with other causes:
Coal = 24 people x 57 TWh x 2 years = 2,736 deaths, plus 25,000 serious ailments
Gas = 3 x 58 x 2 = 348 deaths, plus 3,400 serious ailments
Oil = 19.2 x 9 x 2 = 342 deaths, plus 2,900 serious ailments
Total EXTRA fossil deaths = 2,736 + 348 + 342 = 3,426, plus 31,300 serious ailments
Nuclear = 0.052 x (57 + 58 + 9) x 2 = 13 deaths, plus 54 serious ailments
