Nuclear power has one huge unsolved problem - what to do with nuclear waste.

Any moron who pretends that nuclear power is "clean" is lying through their teeth.

[b]Please educate yourself about nuclear waste before brainlessly repeating political talking points.[/b]

ALL power generation has disadvantages. Solar, wind and water energy all have issues. But none as potentially toxic and life-threatening as nuclear waste disposal.

NP. I'm a nuclear engineer. Could you please help educate me on the issue of nuclear waste and why long term storage is so life threatening? I'm afraid that all I've learned has been nothing but political talking points. [/quote]

Exactly. You don't care about nuclear waste. My friend is married to a nuclear plant director. He doesn't care about waste disposal either. You're a fool if you think radioactive waste is something you can contain forever. As I said before, NO energy production is completely clean (until we can do Dyson spheres). But nuclear waste is several degrees of magnitude worse for the earth in the long-term than solar batteries, etc.
