    Nuclear power produces less nuclear waste than coal (per MWh), which just dumps its nuclear waste into the air.

    Not that putting nuclear waste somewhere isn't a problem, just not an insurmountable one.

      The problem with these stats is they're always murky. Is this including low-level waste, which accounts for 90+% of nuclear waste?

        I mean, this is half remembered pro-nuclear stuff from highschool. Not that I'm doing anything useful, so maybe I could try to find data.

      This is a point I hadn't considered. Jesus Christ we are so fucking behind on what we need (SOLAR FOR FUCKS SAKE)
