    Funny how people think waste is why we don’t use nuclear power.

    You noticed how we’re all fine breathing in poison and carcinogens? Still haven’t banned burning fossil fuels.

    It’s a money problem and a PR problem

      Who is “we”? How “fine” are you with breathing poison and carcinogens?

      And much of the PR problem is related to waste. The main push towards alternative energy sources comes from people worried about the long term consequences of burning fossil fuels. These same people worry about the long term consequences of nuclear waste production, so nuclear sabotages itself on this front.

        Exactly, bad PR.

        Waste isn’t actually much of a problem - it’s just been portrayed as one.
