Please bury the nuclear waste in my back yard.
There is nothing dangerous about transporting nuclear waste or buryng it after we are done with it as we are just putting it back in the earth where we got from and the technology and equipment is already here.
Also please build a nuclear reactor in my neighborhood as I want reliable grid power (not unreliable expensive enviro feel good power) that does not stop when the sun goes down or the wind dies.
How about this, all the enviros that want wind and solar power so bad have to agree to have their power automatically cut off when the sun goes down or the wind dies.

I am not so sure they ever really wanted it at all. So long as it was a remote concept that no one could make money from...maybe. But once large corporations got involved that could employ economies of scale to make projects work...they made like amoebas and split. Now they seem to do nothing but write articles exposing worst-case scenarios about why what they once proposed is now a bad idea.
It reminds me of the solar concentration facility at Kramer Junction that does produce a lot of electricity, about 180 megawatts if I remember correctly. The problem is that it had to be split into five distinct plants because the incentives were written to exclude projects over 30 megawatts. Where is the sense in that except to limit big company involvement?
And you can put a nuke in my backyard. I have property that is close to one. Doesn't bother me a bit.

Regarding nuclear waste, there's the recycling option:
The French have reprocessed power plant spent fuel rods at the COGEMA LaHague site since 1966. The French see reprocessing as ecologically sound, economical and profitable and as demonstrating scientific leadership on a world stage.
