Coal, oil and gas kill quite a number of people today, invisibly and at-semi-random. Say X people die.

If you had a power source that killed X/100 people. But to implement that power source, congress would have to introduce a bill in which every single person who had to die was named.

Could that power source be implemented in any democracy?

(not to say nuclear is exactly like this, just to say nuclear has a bit of this kind of problem and this kind of problem is very hard to solve)
