What to do with nuclear waste? "Let's store it safely for now and let future generations deal with our problem!" is what selfish people figured. At the costs of billions of dollars and a dozen or so lives.
Turns out: nuclear waste cannot be stored 'safely'.
Just read about the Yuccah Mountain Waste Repository: as soon as the (now halted by first Obama and later by Trump) project is finished, the USA will have produced more nuclear waste than it can 'safely' store.

Turns out: nuclear energy is - with the current knowledge - far more dangerous and expensive then advocates want the world to believe.
"Yeah, but Michael Shellenberger is an expert and he says we should go nuclear!" Interesting fact: Shellenberger has been proven wrong about 'climate alarmists and their ideas for sustainable energy'.
Furthermore: Even Nobuo Tanaka, former Executive Director of Shellenbergers International Energy Agency (IEA) and long-time nuclear advocate, recently admitted nuclear power is ridiculously expensive.
I personally think we should consume less and invest in safer ways to generate energy than by 'going nuclear'. Or should we be selfish and let future generations deal with the problems we create?
