So basically, let's just offload the nuclear waste problem to future generations. That's exactly the same line of thinking that caused climate change.

- TeMPOraL 7y agoOut of all the problems we're offloading to future generation, this is by far one of the smallest. It's a tiny amount of tightly controlled substance that can be reprocessed further to reduce both its volume and half-life - we know how, just this stupid FUD doesn't let us build the actual reactors to do that.
- scrollaway 7y agoI'm not denying it's offloading a problem, but it's not the same scale of problem and the resolution needed is on a far longer time scale as well. You simply can't compare a worldwide, global, catastrophic change in climate, causing millions to die, species to go instinct, and trillions of dollars in damages to... this. What exactly is your reasoning in making them equal?
