Fermi would be a hero in the climate change environment.
Unfortunately not the entire “green” community/politics doesn’t see the nuclear as green and as a technology that can save this planet before getting to the fusion or whatever.
- worik 3y agoUntil you can find a way to store something for ~200,000 years then nuclear power is making our descendents pay for our consumption now That is how long they will have to look after (some of) the waste. There is no hole deep enough that you can put high level waste into and safely ignore it from then on. It is not "green". It is the opposite. Selfish dangerous and greedy

I didn't downvote you, but here's a link explaining why nuclear waste doesn't have to trouble any future generations at all. There are also many others that go into deeper detail online in case you're willing to set aside a specific viewpoint long enough to learn more details. https://www.energy.gov/ne/articles/5-fast-facts-about-spent-nuclear-fuel https://www.energy.gov/ne/articles/5-fast-facts-about-spent-...
