The real costs are not being addressed

The costs of nuclear are addressed all the time.

The problem is the nuke fanbois either ignore the costs or hand-wave them away: "Nuclear is only expensive because of protests and regulations. Next time will be different. Blah, blah, blah."

Even without considering the costs of waste and accidents, nuclear costs four times as much as wind or solar and has a 20-year lead time.

Tens of thousands of barrels of toxic waste were dumped near Catalina Island, but the vast majority are non-radioactive chemical waste.

DDT leaking from the barrels is a much bigger problem than nuclear waste and shows up in the local sea lion population.

Anyway, there's nothing realistic that we can do about it since any attempt to retrieve the barrels will likely make things worse.

For the individual there is nothing you are going to do that is going have any climate impact,

Except vote for a candidate that thinks having the future is better than taking bribes.

all of it is determined by much larger forces, not all of them even related to human activity.

Global warming is related to human activity, mate. You don't get any warming from natural forcing.
