And where exactly does Austria plan to dump its nuclear waste? Which beautiful mountain should become unclimbable?

Nuclear waste storage has way higher public acceptance problems than power cables.

You took the wrong bait. Fracking is far worse for mountains than the relatively tiny amount of impact that nuclear waste has. Look it up.

I don’t disagree. But good luck explaining that to the general public.
