In addition, you're perpetuating more FUD by linking unrelated facts. C___y_ had *NOTHING* to do with processing nuclear waste. It had everything to do with taking every safety system offline, then having poorly trained...
I know about that! I deeply regret having mentioned the C-word in my first post. If I could I would reverse that, but I can't. If you want so, failure from the beginning.
By the way, I'm no fan of coal plants either.

For some reason you forgot wind in your list of young and having-lots-of-pros-and-cons-too 'alternative' (hate that word as it manifests the status quo!) power generation technologies.
However, what my - thanks to this discussion somewhat clearer - point is, is that exploring new technologies is great. But actively and productive using technologies, that do produce problems, me, the using society, knows about, and can't really cope with is a bad idea! Just stating further generations with their improved knowledge will easily solve the problems then, is (attention, more fud to come) a bit like killing a child in a car accident, freezing it and telling the parents that it will be good in ~200 years.
You are living contradictions in that your lifestyle has been created and can only be sustained by the very things you attack
Yeah, this world thing is quite complex.
and your other lifestyle choices (for example smoking pot) have very serious costs to the commons but they are "alright" because you like them.
In "my" world, smoking pot has lesser potential to harm coming generations than emissions from (nuclear-/coal-) power plants. (As a side note: In "my" world plant operators shouldn't smoke pot at work).

Never did. Did you? Should I try it?

I think, being grown up, is a bad excuse for dismissing responsibility.
Thanks for your input! Now over to you: get a name, get a
You said there wasn't a solution. I merely showed the error of your statement.
For the "solution" part, regarding a pure intellectual concept of "solution", I agree.
So let's move on and talk about responsibility! How can someone today take over responsibility for something humans (to name a few) will still have to cope with in thousand years?
There is a big difference between 99.4% of fuel wasted full of long-life waste and 0.4% short-living waste.
Not to mention the 0.2% lost somewhere...
You do realize that typical coal fired powerplant emits more radioactive waste to the biosphere in one day than typical, modern nuclear powerplant will emit in its whole lifetime?

Nuclear power is cleaning up the planet by harvesting the things that this evil planet puts all over the place to try and kill us, and getting them away from people.
Nuclear power is not only harvesting the evil things, but also separates the more evil from the less evil things when concentrating the isotopes for the reactor. Following this logic, nuclear weapons are even better because they need higher concentrations... Where's cold war when I need it?
..bury the waste
Yeah! I can't see it, its's not there anymore
...contains substances known in the state of California to cause cancer.
I don't expect high doses, but I do expect the laser branding to create Acrylamide, which is suspected to cause cancer. So maybe this technique is better for fruits, which skin is not eaten.
However, I'm going to have a cigarette. Now.
The best linux game I know is overkill. Great! Loads of blood, weapons, bullets and brackets...
For best graphics experience, you'll definitely need a black backgrounded terminal.
As you were talking about downtime: make sure to start some bots with your overkill-server.
Btw: Does anyone know a public overkill server, which is still running? Those listed on the project home page all seem to be down
