There’s no way to concentrate energy without creating some danger. Gasoline is quite dangerous but we drive around with tanks full of it now. Natural gas and high-amp electricity are dangerous but we have them coming into many houses.
So I would propose the question shouldn’t necessarily be, “how bad is the worst-case scenario”—it’s pretty bad for all energy sources. I think a better question is “how reliably and efficiently can we prevent or mitigate the dangers.” That will go a long way toward determining its commercial viability.
