And what do they propose to do with all the radioactive waste, give it to Space X?
Give it to the French, Russians or Koreans have them reprocessed it into more fuel and put the 4% that is actual waste down a borehole 4000 meters into solid Granite fill the top 3000 meters with concrete and sleep well at night.
Better yet buy 4 sections of land in central Texas over the granite batholith I’ll do the Geological survey and geosteer the wells into their 4km total depth. My LLC will take possession of the 4 sections and I will personally live on top right in the middle of the borehole field going bore hole to borehole with the rigs drilling the holes. In addition to my services as a consulting geo a trust will be set up with a million dollars a year indexed to the inflation rate for continuing Geological monitoring for the next 100 years. With 4 sections of land once the borehole are drilled and filled I’ll run cattle over the tops of them. I’d be happy as a clam living right on top of bore holes drilled every 50 meters apart in a grid pattern then plugged with miles of concrete.
Waste is a political problem not a scientific one. If the dot gov is reading my above offer is real I am a geologist with decades of experience with disposal boreholes of all manor of liquid wastes solid wastes are easy peasy.
