Finland chose to solve the problem. The US could do the same. Anti-nuclear activists who claim to be worried about nuclear waste used politics to shut down our attempt at yucca mountain with the cynical goal of just making it expensive. Ironically doing so made everyone at least a little less safe.
Also, tax payers don't pay for nuclear waste. Rate payers do. It's factored into the sale price of nuclear electricity via the Nuclear Waste Fund.
