We know wind power isn't reliable, that's why everyone has natural gas power plants to fill in the gaps in demand. But when a natural disaster creates temperatures thirty degrees below your minimum temperature, even those fail.
Per megawatt hour of power produced, nuclear has killed fewer people than wind just from the small number of people dying in manufacturing and mining accidents for wind turbines, because of the sheer amount of power nuclear provides.

Nuclear doesn't fail.
Technically speaking, the biggest nuclear disasters we've seen were due to design, or operations flaws and one because of a natural disaster.
But, if you want to convince people, ask them the last time they've heard of one of our many nuclear powered US Navy ships blowing up.
And combined they still killed less than your average damn failure.
