  • Thinking about nuclear waste is good, but in the same process, you should also think about the environmental damage necessary to produce solar panels. A rarely depicted advantage of nuclear is the relative small amount of material needed to produce that amount of power (including the building of the power plant), and that has huge consequences for pollution upstream, and therefore, safety.

    Edit: to be clear, I am not against solar panels in any way, but we should be sure to include all the relevant measurements for all technologies
