Of course I have.
Have you heard of the billions wasted on renewable energy companies?
Which is my point exactly. Nuclear waste is a technical problem that can be dealt with so we should deal with. Store it until we have a working space elevator in a hundred years or so and then give containers full of it a nudge towards the sun.
Chernobyl was in Russia, was a generation ago and taught a lot of valuable lessons. People were killed while we figured out how to deal with electricity in our homes, but we didn't quit. In fact, people still die every year from electrical issues, but we don't go back to candles.
"There have been three major reactor accidents in the history of civil nuclear power – Three Mile Island, Chernobyl and Fukushima. One was contained without harm to anyone, the next involved an intense fire without provision for containment, and the third severely tested the containment, allowing some release of radioactivity.
These are the only major accidents to have occurred in over 17,000 cumulative reactor-years of commercial nuclear power operation in 33 countries. "
We're told to stick with solar and wind so we'll eventually work out the technical difficulties to their widespread success. I agree with that. Stick with nuclear and work out it's technical difficulties.
