The end of the combustion engine as we know it?

I think the reason Nuke accidents are such big news are the lasting effects. Usually an industrial accident is tragic, and kills more than the 0 people that it should, but that's it, it's over. Unless we're talking oil spills which I think are a pretty good reason for a shake up of how we're obtaining our energy as they're tragic and utterly avoidable.

Neither are the answer, I'm sure we can agree, but we're stuck with them at the moment. I wonder which is more socially destructive; the monopolisation of nuclear by the enormous energy companies who are the only ones who can afford to produce nuclear power, or the political power of oil, that has caused wars, and countless regime changes to suit the 'seven sisters' of oil, and their puppet governments
