B-BUT MUH NUCLEAR WASTE

Hasn’t been an issue for decades, Nuclear waste can be recycled back into fuel, the reason the US is storing nuclear waste instead of recycling it is thanks once again to boomer anti-nuclear activists preventing a closed fuel cycle from being developed in the US and forcing the Nuclear Industry to store nuclear waste. I wonder why they are so scared of this solution being implemented?

B-BUT THE PUBLIC DOESN’T SUPPORT IT!
That’s what happens when anti-nuclear activists and pro renewable advocates spend decades fear mongering about Nuclear Power and slandering it every way possible, if the public actually knew the facts about Nuclear and the big picture in relation to fossil fuels, they wouldn’t fall for such propaganda, and in fact, attitudes in some countries to Nuclear are improving, a poll in Australia asked if people were willing to support Nuclear Energy being developed to reduce Co2 emissions, 51% agreed, this is important because before, most Australians were not in favour of Nuclear Energy.

There is also the issue of the mainstream media (at least in my country) overwhelmingly supporting renewables and talking down Nuclear Energy, never giving a balanced viewpoint of each to the public by perpetuating lies made by Renewables advocates.
