a dam collapsing due to crappy engineering practice, isnt a property of hydro electric power, but the risk of such is perhaps 2nd or third order consequence of a dams existence, alongside orthagonal circumstances.

And nuclear waste getting out (which has to my knowledge never happened and caused harm) is also a result of crappy engineering practice and isn't a property of nuclear power. The risk of such is similarly a 2nd or third order consequence of a nuclear power plant's existence, alongside orthagonal circumstances.
