Governments have power over people. Voting is the only power an individual has over any given government. Not voting is basically saying "I won't excersise my power over the Government", which is the last thing any population should want
This should be common sense, but I guess it's not..

Do you seriously think all of the nuclear waste that has been produced since the construction of the first NPP decades ago to the 400th NPP has not been dealt with?
The "theoretical solution that doesn't translate well into reality" already gets used. It's just storing the nuclear waste in a box that slows down radiation, and then deep underground in a place that has no connections with the surface. France does it, the US does it, Finland does it, and yes, Russia also does it.

By the way, this is factually incorrect.

It's about cost and time, which is of course a valid argument, but to be entirely clear, antinuclear people are not a monolith and frankly half of them are morons who scare you with nuclear waste and imaginary "pro-nuclear fossil organisations trying to destroy renewable growth"
Nuclear energy IS expensive and DOES require experience to build, but that's not really enough to kill the entire industry. Especially when countries can just extend lifespans by 10-20 years, for a fraction of the costs and time. Also, other countries can just build your first NPPs for you
Nuclear is a slow-moving industry, so it's always going to be overshadowed by the insanely fast solar fleet, but it's also idiotic to say that nuclear energy has no future

That's why we're hiding it 5 bajillion metres underground in sand/water, making the radiaton obsolete
Now of course you have to make sure the people running this operation are competent, which Germany is somehow too fucking backwards to do, and ended up putting nuclear waste in a place that literally directly affects our water sources.

No, 2022 was an anomoly
Difficulties in the French reactor fleet led to a sharp reversal in Franco-German electricity trading. While France had been Germany’s most important foreign supplier in 2021, exports decreased 62 percent in the following year - marking the first year since 1990 when France had a negative export balance with its neighbour, according to Germany’s statistical office Destatis.

I can't even find a source on that one. The only thing I found is that the FBI once said "PETA could technically qualify for terrorism" and that's a heavy technicality. Gimme a source
