Absolutely yes, but this applies to *every* single energy source. You got radioactive waste from rare earth mines for PV, you got cadmium contamination from PV panels, you got gearbox oil spills from wind, you got hydro dam disasters, you got pollution from new fossil gas and coal built for baseload.
This is why we use objective engineering indicators, such as deaths per kWh to compare what is less or more safe.
