> doesn't include a discussion of waste and the costs associated with handling and storing it safely Right, so French nuclear waste is given to private shipping companies who take it to Somalia and dump it just off the shore there. The rise of Somalian "piracy" 30 years ago was due to villagers tired of the poison washing up on shore and so they would take rafts out to ships to inspect them, as is their right as an impromptu but only existing coast guard.
