    Anti, pro arguments only work in comparison to coal which is a low bar. We frankly simply have not solved the waste issue. I study chemistry and yes, the amounts are tiny, but some isotopes in waste have half lives longer than any structure we can build would last and scaling up nuclear would scale up this problem before it’s solved (just like we did with greenhouse gases). Also it’s objectively more expensive than any renewable source, as multiple independent studies have found.
