    I know it’s a damn lot easier than carbon recapture, if we’re talking waste products. It’s not ideal, but there is no such thing as perfect, and we shouldn’t let that be the enemy of good. Nuclear fission power is part of a large group of methods to help us switch off fossil fuels.

      “Easier”? Are you aware of the fact that radioactive waste tombs are meant to stand for millions of years? It requres a lot of territory, construction and servance charges, and lots of prays for nothing destructive happens with it in its “infinite” lifetime.

        Have you tried capturing gas? As difficult as radioactive waste tombs are, they’re easier than containing a specific type of air lol.

          Read about breathing if you want to know how to capture gas. Also, about photosynthesis.

            If you want to buy the land to plant a second Amazon, be my guest. And breathing does the exact opposite of what we want.

              I’d rather fill land with trees than with radioactive wastes.
