The amount of energy you can get out of nuclear power is insane. I had a chemistry teacher in high school that was very pro nuclear energy. He said while it was true that the waste would not break down for a very long term, you get a ton of energy out of a very small amount of waste. And we can dump the waste in the middle of the desert somewhere. Or fly it into space. I don't really care. Humans only inhabit less than 10% of the earth. I'm sure we can find somewhere to put it lol
But to be clear, I like the idea of diversifying energy. We shouldn't put all of our eggs in any one energy basket. So coal, natural gas, nuclear, wind, solar, etc. should all be used.
Fukushima was/is a warning-when shit happens with nuke energy it affects the world.. There are no safe spaces to store the 1,000s of ton of waste because to get it from point A to storage means rail or highway-shit happens even worse there..
