I'm sorry, but that is just wrong. The "waste problem" is the mantra the
anti-nukes fall back on when they run out of logical arguments. From a science
and engineering standpoint, the "problem" of nuclear storage has been solved for
decades, the remaining problems are 99% political. Not the least of political
problems is the crazy policy that we should not recycle our nuclear fuel
modules. Recycling would greatly reduce the volume of the radioactive waste and
recover an amazing amount of fuel for reuse.

Also, remember that fossil power plants have their own waste storage problem;
they are spewing megatons of gasses and chemicals into our atmosphere that will
last for thousands of years, and we have yet to come up with an effective means
of dealing with it...

I am NOT anti-nuclear but I am a realist and rather you wish to admit
it or not, rather it is political or scientific, nuclear presents many
unsolved issues that must be answered before nuclear will be anykind
of long term solution. I have long believed that nuclear could
provide long term solutions to power needs but only if we quit all the
bull**** political infighting and find real solutions. The first step
in that direction is to admit that you really do have problems that
must be solved. We have had our heads up our ass for years and failed
to admit the problems with fossil fuels, lets NOT repeat the same
mistake in finding replacements.
