    there’s good ways to store the nuclear waste but they’re not politically acceptable. easier to just let it pile up and make it someone else’s problem.

        well there’s glassifying it (encapsulating the waste in an obsidian/glass container), burying it deep, deep underground in a seismically neutral/void area, and the ever popular launching it into the Sun.

          How long does that obsidian glass container last?

          And would sending additional entropy to the sun really be without consequence?
