Dealing with nuclear waste is trivial compared to what might have to be dealt with if the advocates are right.

"If the advocates" are right fits into the same category of "if the moon is made of green cheese."

The warming of the past century is a slight warm up from the mini ice age of the last millennium and still far below the 10,000 year average. It also coincides with increased solar activity which had, coincidentally, been at a minimum during the mini ice age. Hmmm, that solar activity has also managed to be coincident with temperature fluctuations for hundreds of thousands of years. There is no meaningful "human" component to global warming.

Of course, but this means we can use their fear and trepidation about GW in order to get them into advocating Nuclear energy, which would be a good thing for the US anyways.
