Wood, coal, oil have all, in their day, "revolutionised human civilization" haven't they?
I think it's time to move on to a cleaner energy source, and I don't think nuclear is a good option on account of nuclear waste and the possibility of disastrous accidents.
They are not without drawbacks, but surely wind, hydraulic, solar, geothermal and wave energy sources would be less damaging options? We already have the technology to exploit all of those energy sources, and might one day have new mix-and-match systems of supplying energy, depending on local geography.
