> Nuclear energy is the analogy of tech debt that can never be paid back, ever. The reason why the "waste" is dangerous is that there's a lot of energy in it - energy that can still be extracted at a later date. It might very easily be very valuable in the future. Germany is really sad case, where they stopped using nuclear and replaced it with "clean coal". Terrible thing for the planet. The Greens talk about nuclear waste and Fukushima, and meanwhile German green-washed coal plants and cheating diesel engines put crazy things in the air.
