Liveable saved ? Nil, I would think. Lives lost ? A few, while building it and MANY more during its operational life.

Safe ? No. If the Australian WHS Act were applied in the US this project would be stopped pretty quickly as being unsafe and in conflict with the law.

1 in 18,200 is not very good at all - it’s comparable to the likelihood of being struck by lightning - and that happens to several people a year in Australia, never mind the rest of the world.

Environmentally friendly ? No way.

As an engineer I find the “techie” types remarkably ignorant when it comes to safety, through-life maintenance and worse still, an environmentally safe disposal of a system after its useful life has finished.
