    Nuclear waste sucks!

    BUT: We already have about 60 years worth of it, and we need to find a long term storage solution regardless.

    And assuming we would double the amount of nuclear waste, then it would only take one additional half-time to decay.

    Go nuclear!

      Spent fuel rod reactors are well into development, and they will be able to use that waste to generate power and leave behind non-radioactive materials.

        Yes that’s true but that’s also not the point. The point is that we already have a problem and making it twice the size doesn’t make it twice as bad
