Nuclear disasters are noticeable and big. When a big one happens, people panic. But it almost never happens.
Oil and gas fail catastrophically all the time, pollute constantly, and destroy the planet. It's (pardon the pun) background radiation. It's the destruction that never gets news because it's so common.
Genuinely it would.

It's also literally radioactive too. A meltdown per year still releases less radiation than we currently do just by burning shit for power.
Oil extraction has likely destroyed the Niger delta for good.
