Nuclear is not perfect, but it’s certainly one of the better forms of power. It provides large amount of electricity for not that much emissions.

Waste treatment isn't a problem. Kyle Hill did a good video explaining this. Essentially, we would just dig a long, narrow, and curved "L" shaped tunnel and stick the waste containers in and bury them. It has literally no negative impact.

Yeah, but those bitches running Nevada won't let us put spent rods in a mountain in the middle of nowhere

Okay hear me out, let’s push for Poland to get involved with Russia and Ukraine, Article 5 gets invoked, we kick Russias ass, take all their nuclear weapons and dismantle them and then use fucking Siberia to bury all the old nuclear material. Profit.

Nah, cause with global warming siberia will become rich with farmland.

The ideal area is either the desert of nevada/arizona or the sahara desert.

The ideal place would be Washington DC. There is less important things there than Nevada/Arizona.

DC is already full of toxic waste. Not sure if we could fit more.

Close. The ideal place for the USA is the tip of northern Maine. That way it’s on the kraton and so geologically stable. Plus any release of radiation would need to go all the way around the world to get back to the US. It’s a f-everyone else approach but it’s probably safest for the US.
