For every nonprincipal Dirichlet character χ,
L(1,χ)=0.

Multiply the Dirichlet L-functions over every character modulo q. The resulting Euler product has nonnegative coefficients. A zero at one would cancel the principal factor's pole and contradict the Landau theorem for a Dirichlet series with nonnegative coefficients.
