Long-lasting effects on this planet? What, you think this planet hasn't been subjected to a ridiculous amount of radiation over the last few billion years? The amount of radiation that bombards this planet every day is more than all of the nukes we've ever detonated put together. Even in places like Chernobyl, where the entire place is a glowzone, wildlife and plantlife continues to thrive. Besides, we control nuclear power every day, and you know what? We should control MORE of it. Yeah, I fucking said it, this entire fucking planet should be powered by nuclear power plants, and I mean the new ones. Solar panels are too expensive, difficult, and unreliable. Wind farms require way too much space and are unreliable. Hydro-electric plants require specific geological characteristics and are expensive.
And you know what we could do with all that nuclear waste? BURY IT IN THE FUCKING DESERT. You know, that ENORMOUS fucking desert we have in the US? The Mojave? Where fucking nothing lives? Yeah, they had an idea to build a giant-ass tunnel that was lead-lined and concrete-sealed. No lead leaking into the ground, and no radiation getting into it either, and it would have enough space to take on storage of all our nuclear waste indefinitely.
It got axed because people like you kept whining about nuclear power out of ignorance of what its potential truly is. You see only the destructive potential; I see the solution to ALL of our energy problems far into the future.
Worse comes to worst? Load the fucking plutonium onto a massive rocket ship and launch it into deep space whenever you need to get rid of it in a pinch. Or better yet the sun. Problem fucking solved.
