    The waste doesn’t pose any danger as long as it’s stored securely and doesn’t cost that much space. The only downside of the waste is that it needs to be stored forever, but that’s a very, very, small price to pay for not destroying the planet…

      But its also possible without nuclear waste. You are just pushing the problems with the waste to the future generations.

          Agreed, the future generations already have enough problems. Thats why we should invest into stuff that brings solutions and does not create problems.

              No, money is the problem. If nuclear wasnt that expensive then sure, go for it.

                Money a problem? We have individuals with more money than entire cities and companies with more money than entire nations. Money is not the problem.

                  Yes because nuclear plants are so expensive which means electricity price will go up for the non rich people. Unless of course they use tax money to bring down the cost but that means you still paying with your taxes to make it more affordable.

        Nuclear fuel came from the ground, it can go back in the ground. Future generations aren’t going to be impacted by nuclear waste storage.
