re: #35 Anymouse

Conceded. There are lots of fact-denying liberals on any or all of those hobby horses. (I’m not one of them.) The only problem I have with nuclear power is we really have no way to dispose of or properly store high-level waste.

Deep geological burial will do the job of putting high-level waste out of harm’s reach. The Finns are starting to dig a repository for their existing nuclear spent fuel which will be capacious enough to take the next hundred years of spent fuel too. Other nations are planning such repositories but there’s so little waste at the moment it’s not worth spending the money right now doing the digging — France has been running a fleet of forty power reactors for the last forty years or so and all the high-level waste they’ve produced wouldn’t even fill a Walmart store.

In other news no-one gives a rats ass about the billions of tonnes of coal power station waste that’s sitting open to the elements and destined to end up in a nearby river when a storm like Matthew hits. Liability? What’s that?
