My engineer father was one of the earliest people to start warning that the continued burning of fossil fuels threatens the survival of humanity in the 1980s. My engineer father also well understood how toxic nuclear waste is. This is why he always taught me that nuclear power is not green because no one has figured out how to dispose of the toxic nuclear waste. You have no understanding of how toxic nuclear waste is and you're not an engineer like my father was. It shows in your posts.
