People are still afraid of nuclear power. It doesn’t matter that is a reliable green energy source that will last longer than we’ll ever need it to. It doesn’t matter that often the alternative is fossil fuels. Politicians don’t even want to touch this N word.
Radiation is scary, so plants are getting shut down all the time. Huge plants that were 60 year investments, that took 10 years to build, and are currently working great are being shut down right and left, guaranteeing that they’ll never make back the massive investment.
Shortsightedness is a huge (and expensive) problem as well as perhaps the most consistent aspect of human civilization.
In other words, this is an example of Hanlon’s Razor, it’s not a scam, it’s just pure, organic, all-natural stupidity.
I think nuclear energy is the way. I just don’t think human civilization is stable or responsible enough to house the waste for the 500k-1 million years for the half life to happen.
That said, it’s still the best way, even with waste being considered.

I hope our decendants loooove cleaning up messes.
