Everything is simple to the simpleminded.

The rest is nothing new.


harry, what *would* you accept as an answer to your perceived problem with
nuclear waste? You seem to reject every solution that is linked to, so you
must presumably have a better idea.

While you're at it, maybe you could come up with a solution for the
environmental damage and excess CO2 emissions caused by your favoured
intermittent power generating solutions.

There isn't one.
That is the exact problem.
And there have been failed permanent storage attempts where there has been
leakage.

And there has been "breeder" reactors that don't work.
And there are proposed thorium reactors that produce much less waste.
Only now being designed in India (of all places)

I suppose you could launch it into the sun, but that would hardly be
practicable.

At the proposed Hinkley point reactor,they are just going to store the
unprocessed waste because
(a) they want to dodge the cost of processing
(b) they don't know what to do with the waste after processing anyway.

They are watching others, hoping a (low cost?) solution will emerge.

No signs of it in fifty odd years.

There will be a need for efficient generation of electricity/micro CHP from
gas for years.
Both in the home or in central power ststions but it can only be regarded as
a temporary fix.

You should be thinking about this now.

It will take decades to set up a total renewable electricity system
