People will kill me for it but to all the disgusting idiots in the comment section here just know that nuclear power isn’t renewable, that we can’t even cover a fraction of the energy we need with it, that there isn’t a single proofen way to actually store the waste (just temporary facilities) and that the cost of building them (especially in the west) is far to high to stop any timw soon!!!
well on a long enough scale the whole of earth is temporary. That said yeah we can store it in container that survive a train crashing into them. At that point how much more safer can you be.
Because people like to pretend that we can dispose of it in old mines and it will bind to the correct materials but that’s the theory part because rn we store it in very temporary containers that are desinged for decades not centuries
