This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

France only pushed for nuclear, because they need an excuse for the costs of their nukes and nuclear submarines. The disadvantages of high cost and nuclear waste remain.

if it's stored properly

For millennia, which we can't do yet.

nuclear waste can be reprocessed to make it less volatile and radiotoxic

Which needs energy.

France's 80 years of nuclear waste takes about the space of an Olympic swimming pool and half.

In a millena, it'll be 150 swimming pools, and that's assuming we haven't found a way to repair/reuse/recycle it in 1000 years. Or not decided to just yeet it on the nearest inhospitable planet via railcannon or something.

Nuclear waste is a non issue.
