    France’s 80 years of nuclear waste takes about the space of an Olympic swimming pool and half.

    In a millena, it’ll be 150 swimming pools, and that’s assuming we haven’t found a way to repair/reuse/recycle it in 1000 years. Or not decided to just yeet it on the nearest inhospitable planet via railcannon or something.

    Nuclear waste is a non issue.

      If it’s such a non issue, how come we still don’t have a single long term storage facility for spent nuclear fuel in the world? After more than 70 years of nuclear energy production.

            In general, one should not look at what happens in the USA and use it as a basis of reality for the rest of the world.

            Weird ass country full of whackjobs who dedicate their entire lives into finding the worst possible solutions to problems nobody else but them have created for themselves.

              I totally agree with you, especially in the second part where you’re talking about the US being a weird ass country full of wackjobs.

              But that doesn’t mean that we in the other countries aren’t a bunch of wackjobs either. We might not be as totally wack as you are right now, but that’s just a matter of past or future. Just so you know: We already found the worst possible solution, so you don’t have to find it for yourself, you can learn from us and choose another path.
