Yeah, I want to use Lemmy more, but it's 90% Programmer Humor and bad memes about socialism.

Pay to store it in Finland, like everyone else is doing. They currently have a facility that isn't even a quarter full and can be heavily expanded

They don't have storage for highly radioactive waste (as I said), only low to medium radioactive. A high radioactive solution is planned for years, but currently it is still not available.

Solar panels can contaminate ground water if stored incorrectly, that's a useless statement.

That's still a strawman argument. Just because I argue against nuclear power, I don't automatically believe that another solution is perfect. Also that doesn't change that the highly nuclear waste has no storage.

Just because your specific economic union has not built one yet, does not mean you cannot use one of the commercial ones

We can't use one, because there is none.

The containers do, and short of a nuclear bomb going off the waste isn't escaping them

Currently Castor Containers are used. They are designed for 40 years of storage. That's nothing compared to the time the waste has to be stored safely.

So much so that despite waste existing since the 1960s, there has never been an incident of nuclear waste escaping containment

That's also not true. We even have two new species of alligators because of containment with nuclear waste: Tritagator and Dioxinator

I am in the EU. There is literally no storage for highly radioactive waste. There has been talk for years that one will be available, but so far... nothing.

Nuclear waste doesn't leech into the water cycle

That's not true. Nuclear waste can also contaminate ground water, if stored incorrectly. And as we discussed: we have no storage solution for the highly radioactive waste and thus can't store it correctly.

It's a bit more complicated. Where are you gonna bury it? It has to be somewhere, where normally nobody is. Also you have to keep the waste containers safe (and in one piece) for a very, very long time. How are you gonna mark it that people thousands of years in the future still know that it is dangerous?

So we build more Nuclear Power Plants, because the highly toxic waste is not "enough" to care? Where are keeping it then?

Nuclear is the best option. It's the cheapest when considering the energy output, most environmentally friendly, and takes up the least amount of space.

It's the most environmentally friendly, if you don't consider that it is not renewable and that there are no waste management solutions for the highly radioactive waste.

Yes, it depends on the situation. A Movie Theater needs absolute silence during all of the movie, but a plane don't. If the child doesn't cry during the whole flight, I don't see a problem with bringing them along.

I am not a parent. But if somebody is entitled, then it is the person that thinks that every public space should cater to their needs only. It's a baby, they sometimes cry. You can't do anything about it. What should the parents do? Never leave the house with the child, because its crying could annoy an adult?

How don't you know how children work?

Well, she doesn't get eaten. She plays with fire when her parents are out and burns to death. The cats are just mourning her.

In the same book there are some other interesting children stories like the kid who refuses to eat soup and starves to death. Or the kid who sucks on its thumbs until a tailor comes and cuts them off with huge scissors.
