The sum total of the waste produced by nuclear power generation in the US occupies a volume the footprint of a football field and 10 yards high [1]. The "infrastructure" it requires is concrete cylinders that are perfectly safe to stand next to [2]. The amount of waste it produces is miniscule relative to the amount of power it produces. And most importantly, this waste is contained rather than released out into the atmosphere like greenhouse gases. 1. https://www.energy.gov/ne/articles/5-fast-facts-about-spent-nuclear-fuel https://www.energy.gov/ne/articles/5-fast-facts-about-spent-... 2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_cask_storage#/media/File:Nuclear_dry_storage.jpg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_cask_storage#/media/File:N...
