The claim that nuclear waste has to be stored for millennia is a false premise. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radioactive_waste#Transmutation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radioactive_waste#Transmutatio... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radioactive_waste#Re-use https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radioactive_waste#Re-use It would be unwise to gamble on technological progress making 100% green energy feasible, but not making safe nuclear waste disposal feasible. Consider that nuclear waste can be stored temporarily way into the future, but climate action and reliable energy is needed right now. If I had to choose between the environmental impact of climate change and the odds of some nuclear leaks thousands of years down the road, I'd go with nuclear. Such radiation isn't that harmful and the effects will either be localized or diluted.
