Nope - ramp up nuclear power production

Nuclear is only a portion of our electrical generation. And if you believe nuclear power is pollution free, can we store the spent fuel at your place?

I have a problem with false advertising. Compressed Air is also very inefficient energy storage due to the loss caused by heating and subsequent cooling.

At least we can store it in one place. Right now we are spreading it across the globe.

No, just reprocess it. Store whatever's left (which isn't much) in Yucca Mountain.

I'm all for greater use of nuclear power. But, nuclear isn't even CO2-free. Construction and maintenance of the plants is still done using conventional sources.
