It is pretty hard to beat coal and oil in deaths. Air pollution alone takes 4.5 million lives per year, and heating by burning coal and wood takes another 3.5.
Even if every nuclear power plant in the planet went full chernobyl, it wouldn't be as lethal.
Fukushima you cited killed 2000 people (the radiation, the tsunami etc took around 13000).

I think the only people that actually like non-repairable devices are the corporations.
Many different reasons, sane and or not to hate it from the pollution, to this being some sort of scam, to the whole "you will own nothing and you will like it", to people basically weaponizing it as "the other side loves it!".
