[a number of years ago I worked with the USFS in Colorado on mountain pine beetle from a NEPA, varied stakeholder & SMEs, multifactor spatiotemporal analysis (sic) perspective (fe9h.short.gy/TPbN5e); due to this, as a Coloradan and coming from a family of lumber folk, I retain a strong interest in this hazardous and destructive blight, especially as climate change proceeds]

@The_Colbobs
'#NuclearWaste is a resource that can be utilised' - Is this a JOKE?

Nobody's utilising it. Nobody knows what to do with it. Everybody's trying to BURY it.

The human and environmental costs of a #NuclearAccident by faulty design/human error/act of God, are unacceptable. The #EconomicCost of building/removal is unacceptable. The #timescale of #degradation is unacceptable.

Building something that dangerous without knowing how to deal with the known effects is madness.
