    I mean the waste is radioactive for like a million years, and our best storages last like 100? I think its way weirder to be pro-nuclear. All it does it give a horrific burden to future generations.

      You can contain the radioactive waste though.

      The rules for radioactive storage are also old, outdated, and needlessly encumbering.

      But nuclear is like a dog whistle to some people who act like it is inherently evil and won’t even discuss it.

      We have massively increased our renewable footprint, but anyone that thinks we can get by on renewable only, at least with technology where it is at today, is lying to themselves
