Yeah the ideas of shooting into space or dumping into ocean are really asinine. It is a complex issue (waste storage).

We (the US) had a decent plan with the planned Yucca Mountain storage facility. But, you know, politics.

Right, nuclear energy is a perfectly clean and safe technology, unless built by corporations, operated by humans, or overseen by politicians...

Perfection is a meme that I wish would die a dumbass fiery death.

If you compare nuclear to traditional coal-fired plants, nuclear plants are a fucking god send from an emissions perspective.
