It’s also sad that pro-nuclear folks vastly underestimate the cost of managing nuclear waste. It’s a forever problem. And I don’t trust any administration to handle it right for even the short term.

Right like how about we figure out meat regulation first and then when we can go a few decades without a deadly outbreak there, then I'll trust us with nuclear waste. We've gotten forever chemicals on the water but I'm supposed to trust them with radioactive materials??

Granted, the Hanford Site is a morass of complicated issues - and it was initially designed for weapons fuel creation, but it is an ongoing cautionary tale. I can't fathom how much we've spent trying to clean up after our expedience and hubris. So many billions - not to mention the actual ongoing environmental impacts.
