- johnr2 7y ago"he obviously doesn't factor in the enormous difficulty of nuclear waste" Scientist that he is, I very much doubt that he didn't factor it in. (You may disagree with his conclusions).

I see it as a well-understood technical problem with well-reasoned technical solutions. But the politics of "what so we do with the waste?" are basically self-sustaining now.
