But the waste is just SO small and just needs to stay inside of concrete to be considered contained.

I would rather burden future generations with this rather than continuing to produce CO2 at the scale we are doing now.

It feels more solvable than trying to figure out how to reduce CO2 without nuclear (to me)

Thank you for making my point

We can stop producing co2.

There is a price we have to pay

But our greed means "I would rather burden future generations"

Ok but I can't change the fact that everyone is greedy. What I can control is whether I support nuclear, which seems like a better tradeoff for the future than not supporting nuclear.

We are all human and have flaws and it's best to work around them rather than idealize about a world that doesn't exist.
