First point I will make is that coal fired pwr stations are more
radioactive than nuclear stations. The villain is the slag heap.
Regarding waste, a big part of the solution is to build two special
nuclear pwr stations.
You put the waste into the first and pull a lot more energy out and
when it is exhausted for that special reactor you put its waste into
the second reactor and get even more energy out. Leaving very low
activity waste.
Then you collect lots of money from other countries that are only
too willing to pay you to deplete their waste while generating electricity.
A real money for ja

Bazz,

For me it is the enormous amount of environmental damage from wind and solar compared to nuclear. As Dick Smith explains, powering a grid solely with wind and solar is enormously costly and probably not even feasible.

And Senator Fawcett discusses OECD modelling which shows that Australia will face exponential rises in electricity costs with the pursuit of wind and solar, all avoidable with nuclear.
