You gotta pick your poison. Nuclear waste vs carbon dioxide.

Since I see no evidence of sea levels rising... refer to Liberty Island images of the late 1800s vs recent (yeah yeah "fact checkers" tried using tide fluctuation as an explanation as if that wasn't taken into account), I rather pick carbon dioxide over something that can mutate our DNA, give us cancer, and die a slow death.

Also:

Spent nuclear fuel can be recycled to make new fuel and byproducts. More than 90% of its potential energy still remains in the fuel, even after five years of operation in a reactor. The United States does not currently recycle spent nuclear fuel but foreign countries, such as France, do. Oct 3, 2022

Wasn't even aware, learned something new.
