Well. He’s gotten better.

I am persistently mystified that so many people – many calling themselves “green” or environmentalist – consider this a solved problem.

Spent nuclear fuel piles up in retaining pools at nuclear reactor sites, and we can’t take it anywhere because nobody can figure out where to put it. Everybody has easy answers and a proper & permanent disposal site and method are always “just around the corner”.
