Hello fellow Calvin and Hobbes fans!

About this community and how I post the comic strip… The comics are posted in chronological order on the day (usually) they were released. Posting them to match the release date adds a bit of fun and nostalgia to match the experience of reading them in the newspaper for first time. Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. It really sucked when I missed a day. Only years later, when I got the books was I able to catch up on the missed strips.

Calvin and Hobbes is a daily American comic strip created by cartoonist Bill Watterson that was syndicated from November 18, 1985, to December 31, 1995. Commonly cited as "the last great newspaper comic",[2][3][4] Calvin and Hobbes has enjoyed broad and enduring popularity, influence, and academic and philosophical interest… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calvin_and_Hobbes

We don't have any safe way to get rid of the nuclear waste, we can only store it in a way that's probably going to stay secure until we find a way to handle it properly or it's no longer as hazardous

Getting rid of it would mean that we either throw it to the sun (very dangerous launching a rocket filled with nuclear waste) or somehow transform it into less radioactive forming a safe manner

The latter was always doable with breeder reactors and spent fuel reprocessing. France recycles their nuclear waste. They end up with extremely radioactive waste that becomes safe within decades instead of centuries or millenia.

The approach is not without its problems, but there are solutions.
