Sorry for being rude, I have just heard the same arguments over and over and over, and I am getting tired of them.

The reason as to why we haven't built more storage sites is our fear, our fear of radiation, most people don't understand how radiation works and have seen horrible photos and videos from Chernobyl and think that it is impossible to go there still.

It is the nimby crowd who has messed it up so completely.

Add to that the odd report about how to prevent future humans from the waste sites, something not needed, which plays on the fears.

I agree that fear and NIMBYs are one key issue that hinders us into progressing into a green future. Although we may not agree how to proceed best, it is important that we take quick and large steps, and stay united against continuing the emissions of CO2.

Thanks for the discussion :)
