You keep saying this but it's a lie.

That seems a bit harsh.

But accurate.


This is unquantified (though huge) because they don't know how to
do it.

Yes they do and its being done.

No long term repository identified in the UK yet. Parking tonnes of
waste in swimming pools doesn't seem like a good long term solution.
"its being done" seems a trifle optimistic!


Doesnt have to be in te UK.

The problems are ALL political.

Nuclear power is cheap and abundant and knocks the spots of renewables.
But politics says otherwise.
