DoomsdaysCW<p>So yeah, I'm pretty sure the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RockyMountains" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RockyMountains</span></a> are more geologically stable than <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/YuccaMountain" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>YuccaMountain</span></a> or <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WIPP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WIPP</span></a> in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NewMexico" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NewMexico</span></a>. And with <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClimateChange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateChange</span></a> trashing coastlines, it's probably NOT a good idea to keep storing used <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NuclearFuel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NuclearFuel</span></a> next to the plants (which are usually situated near water sources). However, we should only use <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NuclearPower" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NuclearPower</span></a> to get us through until <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/renewables" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>renewables</span></a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BatteryStorage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BatteryStorage</span></a> becomes efficient and non-toxic -- and NOT poison the future for garbled recipes or greedy CEOs (any more than we already have)!<br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NuclearWaste" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NuclearWaste</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NoNukesForAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NoNukesForAI</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NuclearWasteRepository" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NuclearWasteRepository</span></a></p>
DoomsdaysCW<p>Why not store it in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NuclearMissleSilos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NuclearMissleSilos</span></a>?!! But seriously. I suppose putting nuclear waste in the Rocky Mountains, maybe near Cherry Hills (the whitest city in Colorado) wouldn't be a bad idea...😉 </p><p>Many states have resisted <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NuclearWaste" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NuclearWaste</span></a> storage plans.
