We did.

And there's $52+ billion in the Nuclear Waste Fund.

Nevada is just really good at complaining.

Exactly. We have the money and technology to build and operate repositories that responsibly handle all our nuclear waste. We just need the willpower to go out and do it.

Or just give some other country money to do it for you?

Finland might do it? (They are also sophisticated and stable enough, that you don't need to worry about the fuel being mishandled. At least not any more than for the US.)
