? There is no analogy here.
There are no existential risks from Oil. Danger is small and proportional to an installation. You have a big refinery fire and five people die? That could happen with any tech.
Fukishima is unusable for generations. Chernonbyl same.
Spent fuel from a nuclear reactor could feasibly make most of Manhattan unlivable in just a few hours.

That could happen with any tech. Nuclear accident deaths, all time: around 300. Nuclear bomb deaths, all time: around 150,000. Fossil fuels deaths: 8.7M people dead, per year. It's not even close.
