Why is it obvious to pollute the earth with ultra-deadly waste for the next couple million years?
This lack of understanding is why people spread FUD about radioactive waste that will poison the planet for million years.
No, seriously, coal burning released more radiation into the environment than actual nuclear waste. Long-term storage is a problem but it's still a better problem to have to solve than fossil fuel pollution.
And we know of places that are stable on a geological time scale (which is in fact million of years).
