Its nothing short of shear recklessness on the highest order to make reactors with a service life of a hundred years at the maximum, and to have materials power it with a half life of a hundred thousand years or more. The same narrative by the same entities over and over ad nausem driving this planet towards a toxic waste heap. It is a big ask to assume viable long term custodianship over many generations
Apologies for veering into politics, but this is my number one problem with conservatives. They arent conservative enough.
They dont give a damn about any problem that is more than 10 years in the future. Including problems they are creating today.
Classic example: a conservative faction was elected to the local government. One of the first things they did was allow a tire waste dump to be created next to the airport. The dump had been blocked previously. But the conservatives were cutting red tape.
Of course the tire dump is an aviation hazard if it ever caught fire. So the owner made millions but is now bankrupt and now the dump is being cleared out at taxpayer expense. And the conservative politicians that approved it are long gone. It happens over and over again, private profit at taxpayer expense.
