    BP gulf oil spill.

    Fracking, contaminated ground water

    I would still argue those are less catastrophic than Chernobyl, Fukushima, Three Mile Island, etc. Their destructive effects disappear a lot quicker than a nuclear catastrophe negative effect would.

    Having said that, oil is second worse after nuclear. I’m not advocating for oil.

    My hopes are on fusion and solar/battery.

    No form of energy generation is 100% perfect.
