It's solved just like poverty has been solved. There is enough food, energy and shelter for the 7bn people.

It's just those pesky humans hoarding, cutting corners, cheating, fighting, using more than their fair share, etc. Because nuclear lives inside of a fallible society it requires additional safety considerations.

Here is an opinion article on Yucca mountain that I think makes most of the same points, but in a smaller footprint.

What has been solved? The terrorist goes in there, takes some waste, builds dirty bomb problem? I may forgive him for not thinking about that 25 years ago but thats not what I consider as solved (asside from dissolved which he indeed convers in quite some detail). Although I agree that one could do that with other stuff as well.
