eli5 isn’t finding a place to store nuclear waste easier than that covering acres of land with wind turbines and solar panels?

Nuclear power is relatively safe when managed responsibly, and provides a consistant power output. When it comes to hydro electric , solar or wind; it is possible that drought, impaired sunlight, and days with low wind could lead to a day with zero energy or low energy output.

A little bit off topic but somewhat related, a big problem is finding out how to tell people in the future that there’s dangerous nuclear waste there. What if they don’t speak our languages, or can’t read it? So there’s a very interesting thing called “nuclear semiotics” which is basically trying to figure out how to warn people in the future there’s dangerous nuclear waste there.
