Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that coal power causes the most deaths per terawatt-hour among all energy sources?

Yes. A Forbes-sourced table reproduced on Skeptics StackExchange lists coal at 100,000 deaths per TWh, far above oil, gas, biomass, hydro, solar, wind and nuclear, and a Wikipedia article states coal power causes the most early deaths per unit of energy produced. A public-health review adds that coal emits more pollutants per unit of energy than any other fuel.
