No one has ever proposed a "Yucca Mountain" for dangerous fossil fuel waste which kills 7 million people per year.
Yucca Mountain was always a dumb idea because it was a paean to the waste mentality of the 20th century.
If one takes the position that public stupidity should determine infrastructure choices, one is engaging in enthusiasm for, well, public stupidity.
I understand used nuclear fuel on a profound level and so I know that Yucca Mountain was simply an exercise in bad thinking. That anyone still carries on about it is a reflection of the elevation of ignorance as a virtue, in other words, an appalling and dangerous attack on the future.
Whenever I ask antinukes to show that in the 70 year history of commercial nuclear energy it gas killed as many people as will die from air pollution in the next six hours, using a reputable source, they change the subject or mutter something insipid.
Antinukes are very much like antivaxxers with the caveat that antivaxxers have not come close to killing as many people. Covid never killed 19,000 people in a single day and Covid was killing for a couple of years.
Antinuke fear and ignorance has been killing people at that rate for many decades.
Have a nice day.
