In general, I would agree with you. However, I would prefer the developed countries to put this into action first. That's because I don't trust the Indian government. The government here has an odd combination of instilling too many regulatory hurdles, and very lax enforcement of safety policies. By that, I mean, the company pays a little bribe, and the government looks the other way.
We have plenty of arid, otherwise unusable land within easy reach, and solar farms don't interfere with the environment in such places.

- qart 5y agoMerely having nuclear weapons does not produce daily barrels of nuclear waste. The comparison is ridiculously silly. And I would like India to get its regulatory framework fixed before it allows more nuclear plants.
- dotancohen 5y agoHow long do you think is the shelf life of a uranium core weapon? Of a plutonium core weapon?
- qart 5y agoFeel free to look it up. You're in for a surprise.
- dotancohen 5y agoI know what it is. That was my point: old weapons need to be retired and replaced, thus generating waste.
