Eli5: What is so bad about the waste of nuclear power plants? Why are many governments so against it? What is so hard about storing the waste in a safe place?
In: Technology
Not here to argue. But I would like to share [this article here](https://www.cleveland.com/pdopinion/2009/02/nuclear_power_vs_clean_coals_d.html)
Just scroll down to read the radioactive waste from a coal plant, and compare it to a nuclear plant.
That said? Green all the way. Nuclear would be a *great* step away from coal though to help bridge the gap as far as carbon emissions go however. The article I’m sharing though is just to illuminate *how insanely bad coal is* compared to literally the most though of radioactive producer that actually isnt. Nuclear power just concentrates it incredibly.
Now, compare coal to green, and ask yourself why people still argue for coal….
