That number of people would be enough to staff 200-300 nukes which in turn could power half the nation.

And you would store that waste....where? That is the problem I don't think we are ever going to get worked out.

And I think the greenies gave up on solar power...now that too many people are using it and getting paid for it. :)

“And you would store that waste....where? That is the problem I don’t think we are ever going to get worked out. “

It’s a solved problem. Nulcear used fuel is a valuable resource that should be recycled, just like aluminum cans. It’s easier to recycle if the short-lived radioactivity dies down. so ... You store it on site at the nuclear power plant site for 50 years (dry cask storage, been doing that for the last 40 year laready no problem), at which point it is a lot cooler. Store it another 50 years at Yucca Mountain and/or then reprocess it as Mox-type fuel for another go around.

by 2050, we should have lead-bismuth fast reactors that can use up this stuff and burn it completely so there is zero real nuclear waste ove time.

People are paid for solar because it is a taxpayer-funded boondoggle. yet solar gives us less than 1% of our energy. meanwhile nuclear generates 20% of our power.

With all the money we waste on ‘alternative energy’ and ethanol subsidies, we could redirect is on cost-effective nuclear power and end forever the ‘threat’ of global warming.

The same place FRANCE, JAPAN, and several other industrialized nations store theirs! You just hype the nuclear fear like the anti-nuke-nazis like Jane Fonda, et al

One can hope thorium will be the prevailing use of nucluer...for many reasons. Although waste disposal is more of cost rather than place...lol...if that makes sense.

I like alternatives and I think solar has a future, but storage is an issue as well. If they can provide cheap forms of storage (preferable at home), and solar reduces cost...which is likely...then good change will come through.

You only have a long-term storage problem if you're prohibited from recycling the plutonium into more fuel

That's the name of the game for the watermelons. They tell everybody to wait for stuff that they expect to never be viable
