And what about the cost of safely storing nuclear waste for thousands of years?

Humans haven't figured out how to economically build something watertight and structurally sound for 30000 years... most structures will rarely last over 65 years without constant maintenance.

Anything around water, acid rain, or anaerobic bacteria will fall apart in time.

All mines eventually fill with water, and collapse in time.

Putting the PR BS in a hole in the ground does not make it safer. lol =3
